Removing overspray - how?

[broken biscuit]

My car has just come back from the paintshop following a repair. The entire car is covered in a fine mist of overspray, even windows.

How the hell do i remove this - i understand its a water-based paint they use, but i need it off. Having tried a sample panel, a combination of clay, T-cut and Super Resin polish have got rid of the sandy feel, but this is massively time consuming. The car will be going back to the bodyshop, but due to their full diary / my work commitments, not for a week or two.

What you have tried really

Clay bar WILL get it all off in the end , there are different clay bars from mild to agressive.

But using agressive will mean that this will leave clay marring on the paint if its a darkish colour , so will need cutting back afterwards .

A sharp razor blade can be used to scrape it off the external glass. Keep it wet.

From a professional point of view, it's very disappointing that any overspray was left on the vehicle at all! The bodyshop should be ashamed of themselves and do the work without delay. Your time is as precious as theirs, but you are the customer. The fact that they have a full diary is irrelevant - they caused the damage and they should immediately fix it. I'd be mortified if a customer came back with that complaint. I would be more forceful and complain in the loudest possible way to get them to do the right thing and fix it without delay. If they haven't got the staff available, they should employ someone to do it.
