I got my bumpers painted by honda and they managed to get overspray on certain areas of the car. I went out a bought a buffer (not a orbital) with a lambs wool pad, and some wax thinking that would do the trick but it did absolutly nothing. What do i need guys?

bump no one has a clue?

You have to use a compounding pad and some 3m rubbing compound to remove the over spray. A regular finishing pad with wax won't work to remove the overspray.

Clay might get it off if it's light overspray.

Well, i would have started by going straight to where you got it painted.

I figure if anyone has to work on my car, they are responsible if something is messed up. As long as its directly related to the work being done.

Call me out on this, but i was thinking wet sanding.

Have them take care of it or go get a Meguires clay bar kit. I got one and it did wonders for the overspray on my car. I bought it that way and the kit solved my issues. Just it took 6 hours to clay the whole car.

edit: 6 hours to wash, clay, wax and oil change for kicks that day.

well.... i am very experienced in this actually. It really depends on how thick the overspray is. I personally would start with a clay bar before buffing. buffing will melt the overspray....and you might be able to see it after being buffed. A rotory buffer is the only buffer that will remove overspray (well atleast 90% of the time). Can you actually see the overspray? or can you just feel it? I AGREE with the above statements that you should take it back and have them fix it!
but if not you probably want to take it to a prof. detailer. If it were me, i would do it like this
1. claybar the areas best as possible.
2. Use a wool, foamed wool, or andy foam compounding pad on a rotary buffer with either a 3m perfect it or meguires m105.
3. finish polish and wax.

sandpaper will work but it can be an absolute disaster if you arent extremely careful and experience as well.

Clay bar and water. Should do the trick. Do not wetsand its like taking a sledge hammer to clear coat. I deal with this on a regular basis.

Step 1. Take it back to Honda. Have them fix it.
Step 2. Sit back and relax.

^ Agreed! Its not your problem. You paid for your bumpers to be painted, not the other areas of your car! Let them fix it, and it should not cost you anything either.
