removing paint overspray
I've noticed some paint overspray on the car (white onto black and grey) Rolling Eyes

Does anybody know of a way to rectify this myself?? maybe clay bar?

A drop of rubbing compound, G3 or similar,
T-cut will do it also, just take it steady.

Autoglym Super Resin or similar with a light cut might do the job. It will also give some protection as well as cleaning.

Clay can work to remove overspray, I've done it before and it worked well. Check out the Bilt Hamber clays - they are good and don't need a special lubricant, just water. 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green

Morning,
Clay bar should work, depending on how heavy the overspray is!
I have just removed some from our brand new 110 and it worked a treat.
You can always start with the clay, which is the least harsh solution then move on to the G3....

Do it properly, G3 or T cut of you must then polish of your choice.

I mean if push comes to shove you could use toothpaste as it's generally slightly abrasive but as has been said G3 is really the way to go. Steve.
