Paint overspray. Safely removed. Original finish restored.

Road marking paint, building overspray or industrial fallout on your car must be removed carefully — the wrong product damages the clear coat. We identify the paint type, use the appropriate solvent, clay to remove bonded residue, and machine polish to restore the finish. From £100, at your door.

01 — The Service What's included

Identify, dissolve, clay, polish. Original finish back.

Overspray removal is not a single-product job — different paint types (water-based emulsion, oil-based gloss, road marking paint, industrial coating) require different solvents. Using the wrong approach risks damaging the underlying clear coat. We identify the paint type first, select the correct solvent, clay the residue and machine polish to restore the surface.

  • Paint type assessment — overspray identified (water-based, oil-based, road marking, industrial)
  • Solvent treatment — appropriate solvent dissolves the overspray without harming the base coat
  • Clay decontamination — residual bonded particles removed from the surface
  • Machine polish — any marring from removal polished out; surface restored
  • Paint thickness check — measurements taken before work to protect the base coat
  • Paint that has cured into the clear coat — very old, fully cured industrial overspray may require wet sanding
  • Damage to the base coat beneath — overspray that has caused chemical etching of the base coat is a bodywork repair
  • Interior paint contamination — paint spill inside the vehicle is quoted separately
Paint damage to the bodywork itself? Our paint correction service addresses scratches, swirls and etching in the base coat.

02 — The visit How it works

Identify, treat, clay, polish — original paintwork restored.

Overspray removal requires accurate identification first. The treatment depends entirely on the type of paint contaminating the surface.

i

Assessment & paint thickness measurement ~20 min

Overspray type identified — water-based, oil-based, road marking, industrial. Paint thickness measurements taken across all affected panels — this baseline confirms safe working depth throughout the process.

ii

Solvent treatment ~60 min

Appropriate solvent applied to the overspray in controlled amounts. The solvent dissolves the foreign paint without attacking the underlying clear coat — product selection is critical. Applied panel by panel and agitated gently.

iii

Clay decontamination ~30 min

Clay bar used across all treated areas to remove any bonded residue that the solvent softened but did not fully dissolve. Leaves the paintwork perfectly clean and smooth to the touch.

iv

Machine polish & protect ~60 min

Machine polish removes any marring or light marks from the removal process and restores full gloss to the treated panels. Sealant applied to protect the restored surface.

Parked near roadworks and got white road marking paint all over the side of the car. After removal the paint is completely clean — no trace of the spill.

Industrial overspray from a building site covered the entire bonnet and roof. They assessed it on arrival and removed it completely with no damage to the underlying paintwork.

05 — FAQ Common questions

Everything we get asked before a first booking.

Can't find your answer? Call 0800 208 8885 — we usually pick up within an hour during opening hours.

Can you remove all types of overspray?
We can remove water-based emulsion, oil-based gloss, road marking paint and most industrial coatings. The success rate depends on how long the overspray has been on the car and whether it has fully cured into the clear coat. Recent overspray is always easier to remove. We assess on arrival and advise honestly.
Will the removal damage my paintwork?
Correctly applied solvent and clay does not damage modern clear coat. We measure paint thickness before starting and monitor throughout. If we identify risk to the base coat at any stage, we stop and advise.
Can I make a third-party claim for overspray?
If overspray resulted from negligent contractors (roadworks, building work), you may have a third-party claim. We provide a full invoice and written assessment of the contamination for insurance and legal purposes.
How quickly should overspray be treated?
As soon as possible. Fresh overspray that hasn't fully cured is significantly easier to remove than overspray that has hardened over weeks. Do not attempt to remove it yourself with solvents — the wrong product can dissolve the clear coat.
