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 North York, 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 Leslie-Nymark 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.

North York combines condo towers along the Yonge corridor with underground garages, rows of detached and semi-detached homes with driveways in Willowdale, Don Mills and Bayview, and many townhouse complexes, so we adapt to a driveway, a visitor stall or a garage level.
Salt and slush spray up from the 401 and Allen Road through winter, coating lower panels and rocker areas with a stubborn grey film. Spring pollen from the mature trees in neighbourhoods like Willowdale settles on paint, and construction dust follows the many condo builds.
Crossing North York to reach a shop means sitting on the 401 or Yonge Street, and many condo owners have no practical place to wash a car. Mobile detailing comes to your driveway, garage or workplace and removes the drive and the wait.
We regularly work in Leslie-Nymark, Hoggs Hollow and Bedford Park-Nortown, and every other part of North York.
