Fine specks that feel rough like sandpaper after you wash the car are usually overspray: paint from a nearby building job, a roadside line painter, or a neighbour's fence.
Fine specks that feel rough like sandpaper after you wash the car are usually overspray: paint from a nearby building job, a roadside line painter, or a neighbour's fence. In Etobicoke, we remove it with proper decontamination instead of grinding at the paint with something harsh. Take a photo before you wash it, so we can see what the specks look like.
We begin with a thorough wash, then test a small area to find out what the overspray is. Latex, enamel and road paint behave differently. A clay bar with lubricant takes off the lighter material, and a stronger solvent-based decontamination handles the rest, always with attention to what the clear coat can tolerate. Fine, fast-drying paints need slightly different treatment from thicker ones.
Glass, trim and plastic are included. Overspray lands on windshields, mirrors, bumpers and wheels as well as paint. Residents around The Queensway who live near condo or road construction often have a whole row of cars affected. We can clean the full exterior and finish with polish where it helps. Rubber seals and window gaskets also catch specks, so we check there.
There are limits. Dried, baked-on overspray from months ago may have bonded to the clear coat, and heavy cases can need machine polishing or, rarely, a body shop. We tell you what we see before we start. After removal, we recommend wax or sealant so the next contaminant lifts off more easily. Patience matters, since rushing causes marring.

Etobicoke blends high-rise condo towers along the Humber Bay Shores waterfront with detached and semi-detached homes with driveways in Islington, Kingsway and Long Branch, plus townhouse and apartment complexes in Rexdale and along Kipling, so we set up in a driveway, visitor lot or garage as needed.
Lake Ontario brings damp air and winter spray, and road salt from the Gardiner, QEW and 427 coats lower panels and wheel wells through the cold months. Spring pollen and construction dust from ongoing condo development along the waterfront settle on paint.
Getting from Etobicoke to a downtown shop means the Gardiner at rush hour, and nearby shops can have long waits. A mobile detailer works in your driveway or condo garage and saves the trip.
We regularly work in The Queensway, The Elms and Humber Heights, and every other part of Etobicoke.
