Left side of the hood after multiple passes of M205 on a white and orange CCS 4" pad, and I even tried M105 on both pads as well.
It definitely removed a lot but not all of it:

Basically I didn't come up with a good method for removal. 105 and an orange pad left marring that would definitely need to be followed up.
I have yellow CCS pads but don't really care for them based on how porous they are.

Would wet sanding be my next option? My hood needs re-painted in the spring regardless so I kind of have it to work on as a trial for other parts of the truck.
I have a PC and a Flex to work with. What do you guys think? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!


What model is the Flex? DA or rotary?
I personally have not had good results with Yellow CCS pad

Have you tried a 5" Surbuf pad on the PC?
Don't be fooled by the soft fuzzy fingers. It will cut.

I'll second the motion on the yellow pads. In fact I actually threw mine away after making quite a mess with one.

I use the 2100 when I need an aggressive clay.

Can you still feel it on the paint, or is it down to where it is just a discoloration on the paint?

Gip, you can definitely feel it on top of the paint.

My Flex is the XC 3401 DA version.

I have not tried any of the Surbuf pads. I mainly have Lake CCS and the contoured ones made for the Flex.

On a side note, have any of you guys ever heard of Motsenbocker products? Found them doing a little digging...

Definitely an old thread here but I did want to post my findings....

Rick @ ADS recommended that I try a Nanoskin Autoscrub on my truck for the overspray. I picked up the medium grade wash mitt and worked on my truck yesterday. I am also awaiting an order from Rick with the smaller sponge versions. These will be nice it tighter spaces I'm sure.

I cannot say enough good things about this product. AMAZING really. I was skeptical at first but it took 30 seconds to realize I'd found the solution. It did take some scrubbing, and left a small amount of light marring in places, but it absolutely took the overspray right off. You could hear it scrubbing away and smoothing out. I'm not sure how long it had been on there, but it's been a few years. I don't think I will ever go back to clay. I worked 5-6 hours and removed 98% of it on my initial pass. Forgot what my paint looked like.

If you have an overspray problem like I did, or just want an alternative to clay definitely pick up one of the Nanoskin products.

Here is the washmitt I used: http://www.autodetailingsolutions.net/nanoskin-autoscrub-mitt-medium-grade.html

Many thanks to Rick for the recommendation!
