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 Scarborough, 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 Scarborough Bluffs 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.

Scarborough has plenty of detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages, plus townhouse complexes and a growing number of condo and apartment towers around Scarborough Town Centre and along Kennedy and Eglinton, so we are comfortable setting up in a driveway, a visitor lot or an underground garage.
Winter salt and slush on the 401, Kingston Road and Lawrence Avenue East leave heavy residue on lower panels and in carpets. Cars parked near the lake along the Bluffs deal with damp air and spring pollen from the many mature trees.
A drive from Scarborough to a downtown shop can mean an hour or more each way on the 401 or DVP. Mobile detailing saves that trip and works well with the many driveways in the area.
We regularly work in Scarborough Bluffs, Cedarbrae and Armadale, and every other part of Scarborough.
