Thread: Black Jetta w/overspray VS Clay and Menzerna!

There was some house/building painting going on near where this car was parked. As is turns out, overspray is all over this Jetta, including the hood, front fenders, windshield and bumper. And this isn't a little bit of overspray either. Tiny tan paint drops are literally all over the front of the car :crap: I started with a nice 2-bucket wash with Meg's Gold Class wash. Then proceeded on to the fun part......clay bar to the overspray. At first I tried being gentle, and that did not get me very far. I had to be more aggressive with the clay to get the overspray off. As a result, my arm almost fell off. However, this did leave significant marring on the extremely soft VW paint. After hours of claying, I pulled out the PC. I started with the Menz 106FF, w/yellow Meg's pad, but too many small scratches remained, mostly from the claying. I then stepped up to Menz SIP. This performed about 95% correction. Mostly before pictures below.

Final process

Meguiar's Gold Class wash (two bucket method)
Blackfire claybar with ONR lube
Porter Cable 7424
Menzerna IP with yellow CCS pad
Menzerna 106FF with Meguiar's yellow pad
Poorboy's Black Hole with black pad (low speed)
Blackfire Liquid Wax by hand
303 Aerospace on trim
Armor All on wheels
