Many years ago long before the clay-bar had been invented, I was and still do use a method that I call ” blading or shaving a car. I use a single edged carbon tipped razor blade to safely remove any type of overspray damage known to man. I have over 20 years experience using this technique and have repaired thousands of vehicles in this manner. Most people that own detail-shops have very little experience with removing overspray from vehicles. Plus their normal customers don’t come in for overspray removal work.
For over two decades, every vehicle that I have repaired had some sort overspray damage. The only way to become truly proficient in repairing vehicles is numbers. The more vehicles you repair, the more proficient you become at it. I have traveled all over the United States and beyond managing claims for major insurers and contractors, saving them millions over the years. When I go to manage an overspray project, am basically agreeing to make the repairs without truly knowing the extent of the vehicles damaged. In over 20 years I have never turned tail and had to head back to the house because I could not make the repairs.
My blading technique has never failed me. You will also notice in my videos that if possible, I invite the customer to observe my process first hand. This is something that I never hide from my customer or insurers. To prove that no damage is occurring doing my cleaning process, I do all my own filming using a Sony HD camera. For super close ups, I remove the camera from the tripod and hold it with my left hand while blading with my right hand. I also explain to the customer what am doing while keeping the work am doing in frame.
I always do a pre-existing damage report, so that the customer can be made aware of any damages other than overspray. Plus it makes a great video when you remove all of the damages including the pre-existing. There are several other ways to remove overspray other than my blading method or the clay-bar, and I have tried them all. First the Nano Skin auto-scrub, this is a pad that you attach to a portal or a high speed buffer. This will scuff a black car so bad that you have to buff it to restore the finish. I have seen several demonstration videos of vehicles that have been repaired using this method.
None of the vehicles repaired were black, or were taken outside under the sun light to see how they really look when this product is used. Another way to remove overspray is to wet-sand a vehicle which diminishes the clear-coat and voids the factory warranty. No one on the internet has ever demonstrated these methods and then take the vehicle outside under direct sun light for inspection.
