How Do You Get Overspray off a Car
Maybe you got a drip from a house painter’s roller. That’s a thick problem. A clay bar won’t bite it.

Grab a plastic razor blade—yes, that’s a real thing. Plastic won’t scratch metal. Slide it under the drip and pop it off like a pimple.
Then clay the residue. Your car will thank you by looking 10 years younger.
Step 3: The solvent shuffle (play it safe)
If clay and plastic blades fail, bring out the big guns: isopropyl alcohol (70% or higher) or a dedicated tar remover. Test on a hidden spot first—always.
Soak a microfiber cloth. Dab—don’t rub—the overspray. Let it dissolve for 30 seconds. Then wipe away gently.
Pro tip: do not use nail polish remover. Acetone eats car paint faster than a toddler eats candy. You’ve been warned.
