Overspray
Overspray is paint mist that lands where it should not.
What is Overspray?
It roughens glass and trim. It comes from poor masking. Clay removes light overspray. It often appears on window rubbers, glass, badges and neighbouring panels after a respray. Even cars parked near building work or road marking can get overspray. A clay bar or a specialist product removes light overspray, but heavy contamination on trim may need the part replaced.
How it works
Fine droplets drift onto nearby surfaces.
Why it matters for your car
Check rubbers and glass after resprays. Use solvents carefully.
