Many times cars are damaged by overspray and the owners are unaware of it until the car is washed or detailed.
Overspray is usually caused by paint being applied in an area of high winds. This mist can be carried up to a quarter mile.
The cost of repairing the damage done by the overspray, is determined by the severity of the overspray, and they type of paint used.
Epoxys and enamels are very difficult to remove, but latex and water based paints are usually easier to remove.
There are several effective techniques, that a qualified technician can utilize, depending on the situation.
The most effective technique to remove overspray, that we have found out, is to utilize specialized blocks, designed for overspray removal.
These blocks float accross the paint with a special lubricant and they pick up the overspray without the use of harsh chemicals.
Many detailers who are not qualified, or properly trained, will use harsh chemicals that can damage the surface of your vehicle, including the original paint. Although this method might seem faster, it can cause damage to your vehicle in the long run.Your car may be covered under your comprehensive insurance coverage, if you are not aware of how or when you car was damaged.
Many times the cost of overspray removal is less than your deductible, and you might not even have to file a claim.

Windshield Repair
Modern Windshields are made of laminated glass. Small rocks and stones can cause chips, stars, and bullseyes, on your windshield that can quickly lead to long cracks. These can be repaired with special equipment that evacuates the air from the break and injects a clear resin sealing the damage and stopping it from cracking further. Once your windshield is cracked you have no choice but to replace the glass. It is illegal to have a cracked windshield in the state of Florida. Also having a cracked windshield becomes a safety hazard because up to 60% of the strength of your roof is supported by the windshield. The best windshield you will ever have is the original windshield installed by the factory. Many technicians install aftermarket glass improperly. Many lease companies will not accept a lease turn in with non OEM aftermarket glass. Since repair is around $50 and a replacement average is almost around $300 most technicians opt to replace rather than repair them. Many times your comprehensive insurance will wave the deductable if you opt for repair than replacement. See our pictures for what type of damages are repairable rather than replaceable.
