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 Richmond Hill, 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 North Richvale 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.

Richmond Hill is mostly detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages, with townhouse complexes and condo towers clustered along Yonge Street and Highway 7, so we usually set up in a driveway and also work in underground garages.
Winter salt and slush from Yonge Street, Highway 7 and the 404 build up on lower panels, and cold snaps freeze grime onto the paint. Spring pollen from mature trees and dust from ongoing development coat cars quickly.
Richmond Hill streets are busy at rush hour, and a drive to a shop on the 404 or Yonge Street takes time. A mobile detailer works at your driveway, garage or office and fits around the commute.
We regularly work in North Richvale, Beaver Creek and Yongehurst, and every other part of Richmond Hill.
