Will clay bar do it?
While driving today my car was over sprayed by what appears to be white wash of some sort. No way I could have avoided it.
The stuff came off the body of the car easily, but the nose and side mirrors, windsheild too, have remnants that can be seen and felt when you look close.
Will a clay bar get the suff off? I've not used a clay bar before so your input will be helpful. Assume I have to wax after the clay bar.
Thanks gang!

Clay Bar will do it! I clayed my '94 that I thought was almost perfect before. Now I just can't believe it. The shine is much deeper and "cleaner" looking. Clay takes just about anything off. Tree sap, paint overspray, road tar, bird droppings, bugs etc.
Try it, you'll like it I'm sure.

If a clay bar does not do it, I would use turpentine to remove it. Go over it with at damp cloth and rewax if it was on paint. For the glass, I would use a good glass cleaner when you are done. Turpentine will not harm your paint or your glass.

A good claybar should remove most to all of the damage, very similar to removing overspray. That said, you might need to also use a slightly abrasive polish in order to remove any stubborn marks. It is however easily repaired at home.
