Over spray & clay bars... Car was painted & buffed. Looked beautiful. Thanks to the factory putting blobs of seam sealer between the quarter/trunk extension I had some bubbles appear shortly after it was painted. My body guy cut it apart and replaced the lower quarters/trunk extensions & repainted the rear of the car. When I got the car home I was cleaning it from the 1400 mile road trip and noticed tat there was what appeared to be over spray on the door. Wondering if just a clay bar will remove it? I am a newby when it comes to paint repair & do not want to do anything that is going to trash the paint....From my understanding when it comes to paint repair it is best to start with the least aggressive methods first. So are all clay bars created equal?
It is not visible in the picture but the over spray is on the section of the door just below the window, the piece parallel to the ground...

Clay bar first with water or Meguiar's detail spray. Do one panel at a time and do it several times. If that does not work use light sand paper 2000 grit and sand off affected areas. You will have to buff it with compound to bring back the finish. Then use swirl remover and wax!!
Clay bar works good. Also this sounds crazy, but wipe it of with a bit of lacquer thinner on a clean white lint free rag. As long as its a base/clear and its baked on the lacquer thinner will not hurt it at all.
