Scrubbing or scraping overspray with towels, plastic razors, or brushes can cause more harm than good. These methods often create swirl marks and deep scratches that require extra correction later.
At Elite Auto Spa, we see this problem often. It turns one issue into two — first, safely removing the overspray itself (which varies in difficulty depending on where it’s stuck, like paint, trim, wheels, or glass), and second, fixing the damage caused by improper cleaning attempts.
Even with careful professional methods, light polishing is usually needed to restore full clarity. But when the surface has been aggressively scratched, we must perform a more intensive paint correction to fully restore the finish.
Removing paint overspray or surface contaminants requires precision and care to avoid damaging your vehicle’s finish. Our professional Overspray Removal service restores your paint smoothly, protecting its gloss and integrity

When your paint feels rough or you notice tiny specs across the surface, that’s usually paint overspray. It happens when nearby painting projects, construction, or even spray paint drift in the air and settle on your vehicle. Overspray can stick to the surface and dull the shine, making your paint feel gritty instead of smooth.

1.Inspect the affected areas : We start by assessing the paint, glass, trim, and other surfaces to identify the type and severity of overspray.
2. Decontaminate the surface : We use specialized cleaners and iron removers to break down loose contaminants and prepare the surface for safe removal.
3. Mechanical removal : Using a clay bar or clay mitt, we gently remove embedded paint particles without damaging the surface.
4. Polish the paint : After removal, we lightly polish the area to restore smoothness and clarity, removing any light marring caused during the process.
5. Final inspection and protection : Once the surface is clean, we inspect for any remaining overspray and apply a protective wax or sealant for a smooth and glossy finish.

Paint overspray happens when paint particles land on unintended surfaces like your car’s paint, glass, or trim—often from nearby spraying, construction, or industrial work.
If your paint feels rough to the touch or you see small specks or a gritty texture on the surface, that’s a sign of overspray. It can also make your car look dull and uneven.
Yes, with the proper tools and techniques, overspray can be safely removed without harming your vehicle’s paint. The key is avoiding harsh scrubbing or scraping that causes further damage.
It depends on the size of the vehicle and how severe the overspray is. Most vehicles can be completed within 2 to 4 hours, but heavily affected areas may take longer.
Overspray removal focuses on eliminating the contaminants sitting on the surface. If your paint has scratches or marring, we can follow up with a paint correction or polishing service to restore full clarity.
