How to Remove Paint Overspray


Dhaham

Question

Dear Friends

My car has got paint overspray (depositing paint particles) due to a spray-painting work of my neighbor. Both body as well as windshield have been affected. When I operate wiper, it sounds like there is lot of dust on the windshield (even just after washing). 

How can I remove this without damaging paint or windshield? 

Can I use WD40?

WD40 won't do anything. Like @Hyaenidae mentioned, you need to give it a proper polish (body and window). If you are not into (or don't have experience with) home/diy car detailing, you might want to give it to a professional. If you do not know what you are doing, you might make it worse by scratching off too much paint or scratching the windows.

Thanks @iRage

Can you please recommend a good place to have a professional cut & polish?

3M rubbing compound = Yes...available in the market. Perhaps even something like B-cut or whatever they call it in SL will work (and it is a a lot more softer)

Elbow grease = considering this is the strength of your arm and the effort you put in to it, it will be available in SL as long as you are in SL :D

Not in SL so I am not sure who is best...but look for places like KleenPark, MagCity, etc...(no idea how their work is). If you know a good paint/body repair guy he too will be able to do it.

Where are you ?

Eh? AFAIK 39044 is equivalent to 1500-2000 grit, quite soft. IDK how coarse B-cut is
