My name is Jeff Suggs owner of Paint Overspray Removal of Texas. I specialize in the safe removal of Protective Marine Coatings & Polyurethane spray-foam in the form of overspray damage to vehicles. These products are some of the most adhesive and have the longest life span when applied to any surface. This is why there are so widely used in the construction business. The flip side of that coin is, there also very hard to remove. The normal cleaning methods that every paint overspray removal company uses including me, is the clay-bar from Auto Magic. This is an excellent product that works great on most vehicles damaged with paint overspray. When a vehicle is heavily damaged with Protective Coatings or spray-foam insulation, the clay-bar cannot remove it by itself.
Many years ago long before the clay-bar had been invented, I used 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 of 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've 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. 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 notice in my videos that when 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 my own filming using a Sony HD camera. I always do a pre-existing damage report, so that the customer can be made aware of any damages other than the overspray. Plus it makes a great video when you remove all of the damages including pre-existing.
There are several other ways to remove overspray other than my blading method or the clay-bar. First the Nano Skin auto-scrub, this is a pad that you attach to a portal or a high speed buffer. This will scuff black vehicles. You can always buff the scratches out of the paint, but your damaging the paint in the cleaning process. I have seen several demonstration videos of vehicles that have been repaired using this method. None of the vehicles repaired were black, or 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. Check out some of my best work linked below. None of my custom work has ever been duplicated by anyone on the internet or elsewhere. http://www.paintoversprayremovaloftexas.com/severe-paint-damage
