how to remove overspray
Guys,
My 2006 black Mitsbishi has gotten oversprayed enamel paint on it. What is the best way to get this off? Im not sure how to handle this problem with the modern paint finishes. Im not sure what kind of polish to use either or whether I should use my orbital polisher on it.

I have had good success removing slight overspray with the cleaning clay sold by Griot's Garage or some of the local auto stores.
If it is heavy overspray, you may want to ask a local body shop what they use for this purpose.
Go slow and be careful

WOAH! just in case you do decide to try that last idea....DONT!!!
On the mustang boards someone asked about a fuel additive. the guy was just not a car guy but someone mentiond "put a bit of sugar in the tank and a dash of sand you wont have to worry bout it again". Well 3 days later the new thread was "why has my engine seized up after adding additive"?
When someone is as nieve about using a claybar for over spray and they are "desperate" to find a solution then sometimes we have to watch who and what exactly we offer for advice here cause the next posting will be, "how do i repaint the side of my car after using oven cleaner on overspray"! then wont you feel bad? personally i think he should of used brake fluid! (kidding) okay now write 100 times on the board i will not give out hurtfull suggestions anymore.
