    Removing Epoxy Overspray

    Vehicle was coated in overspray. It's a 2-part polysiloxane (PSX700) which has cured and is well adhered to the vehicle surface. Clay bar did nothing. The drops can't be scratched off with a fingernail either. The bond is very good.

    Anything short of wet sanding?

    Your best bet would be to call the manufacturer and see what they recommend to break it down.

    Once my Alfa Milano had a mist of paint from an overpass painting project stick all over it. I tried acetone, lacquer thinner, credit card scraping, nothing worked. Some droplets came off with a fingernail, but most seemed permanent. Even if I could have enough fingernails to do the whole car, it would have taken months. I -literally- nearly cried. NOTHING would touch the ****, and I thought I'd have to sand and repaint the entire car, which had like-new paint hours before. As a last resort, I tried Meguiar's clay bar and it worked. Used it with their quick detailer for lube (I think they now have a spray for the clay ).

    I was amazed. Left no marks at all after a wax. Hope it works for you.
