Default Need detailing in Naperville IL
My girlfriends dad got a bunch of overspray on his infinity (not him painting) but he was told to use some sort of PPG paint thinner to get it off.

Needless to say the paint is looking a little hazy in some areas, he tried hand waxing it and no luck. Im unfortunately working out of the state for the summer so i cant detail the car for him. If anyone can help me out thats good with paint correction or detail that doesnt cost an arm and leg let me know.

A clay bar should eat that up for you. Jus' keep it lubricated.

+1. Mild clay bar with some clay lube should take care of it.


Any pictures?

If he wants to drive to Kenosha I've got everything and it will only cost beer. If the clay bar won't take care of it I can whip out my buffer and compounds.
