Angry Over-spray on my sedan

washing my car today when I noticed a zhitload of small rock chips well, it's really gray over-spray on my DG sedan. Its only on the front of the car where
The wind would hit it so, my wife must have driven by where someone was painting. Those bastards When this happened to my boss' newly painted black jeep I just used a meguires clay bar kit and it came right off. So I bought a mothers clay bar kit and it isn't taking any of it off So then I busted out my 3M machine rubbing compound and had to put a lot of elbow grease into it just to get a lil bit off but, the paint looks so good I am now going to borrow my friends high speed polisher and do the whole car with 3M perfect-it III rubbing compound and glaze.I guess I have been looking for an excuse to do this anyway.

Next time try a clay bar. It will easily yank the overspray off. I've add to deal with it on my G too.

You guys are completely insaine. There is no reason to assume that someone didn't read the whole post and just skipped to the bottom and wrote whatever the hell he felt like writing. Probably just accidentally missed it or something.

Back to the OP and his problem, you should try to use something called a clay bar. My friend's sister used one and said it works.

That must be some heavy duty spray if a claybar didn't work. Did you try rubbing compound?

In the future try methyl hydrate to get the over spray off. It works really well, but it strips all the wax off the car so make sure to reapply it after. It will also suck any moisture out of your hands.

Have you tried using a claybar? I would recommend Mothers... that should do the trick.
