Default eek! overspray

Well boys and girls,
To keep a long sad story short; I just came in from polishing my car and there is overspray on it. A couple of weeks ago my lovely wife accidently backed it off a curb and cracked the rocker panel. We got the car back this weekend and the repair is flawless. However, as I was polishing the car I noticed that the finish on half the body is rough. You can't see it; but can sure as :reddevil feel it. I think they must have covered the side they were working and left the other one exposed. I know they did a good job on the repair but now I am so ****, I don't even want to let it out of my site! Can anyone tell me; is there a product or method that I can apply myself to get things back to normal?. The car had 21 coats of Zaino on it prior to the "incident". :cuss

Clay should take care of the overspray, use Zaino, Mother's or Clay Magic clay to repair your problem

Generally for overspray I get some "prep-sol" from the automotive paint store.

It's a paint cleaner that you use prior to painting to get off tar, silocone and other paint contaminants. It is nice to your paint though, but will remove ALL wax or polish you hae put on. It should do well for your overspray. (assuming the overspray is attached to either plastic, good paint that had a previous coat of wax or polish).
