Default Spray Paint over spray

Somehow there seems to be some silver spray paint overspray all over my S. I figure it was outside and one of my lovely neighbors was spray painting something. Anyhow I was looking for any ideas on how to remove this overspray ( it's a a light dusting ). I was thinking about trying a clay bar. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dan

Simple answer .... Clay bar. For first Time clayer's I recommend Clay magic which is available in local Autozone type stores.

There is a lot written about claying but here are some tips:
Cut the clay into 2-4 pieces and work with one of those pieces. That way if you drop the clay you can pitch it out and you have a good clay available .. never use the clay after you dropped it.

If you use the clay lube you will need to rewash the car after claying. I use a car wash solution as my clay lube and all I have to do is rinse after claying

Work the clay in small sections folding and kneading the clay after each section. Keep each section wet with lube.

Just incase anyone was wondering. I did it a few nights ago and it worked out just fine.
