Fencing Paint Overspray

[Wabs]

My ex sprayed the fence and got it all over next door’s conservatory
I got it all off with this

Pardon our interruption...

I wouldn’t use that product on a gel coat finish,,it’s a solvent and will play havoc with the paint

Or the plastic windows.
I’ve used Autoglem super resin polish to remove scratches off my plastic window.

Could always get a mobile auto detailer to visit and do the work

If you go this route, don't use anyone unless you've got recommendations of their work from people you know and trust.
I employed a mobile detailer to smarten up the exterior of my van. I then spent a four figure sum having sections resprayed after the paint was damaged by the so-called 'expert' I'd used. (And yes, I checked reviews and details online beforehand...)

Hi, I have 3 grades in polish for refinishing surfaces. I would advise you to try a clay bar first.

Many thanks for picking up on this. What do you think of Sasbo's suggestion of a clay mitt? Would it be less aggressive?

Go to Halfords and buy this, it’s time consuming but easy and no effort, just wipe it over the affected area.. you can buy a lubricant spray in Halfords for it too but a water spray bottle with a touch of washing up liquid in it is just as good…

You must polish or wax the area afterwards…

Clay is always the best option for contaminants as it shears them off the surface causing minimum wear to the uncontaminated surface.

Provided you lubricate the surface well, the clay mitt is easier to use than a clay bar. You can buy a bespoke lubricant but weakish washing up liquid mixture in a spray bottle is, in my opinion, just as good. Read the Amazon reviews to help make your mind up.

 

[Wabs]

I have previously used various lubricants , all pricey, but if you do it properly, water does the same job, all that’s needed is liquid to stop the clay bar/ mitt marring on the surface, if it starts to ‘pull” then it’s too dry, that’s when it marrs,

 

[Sasbo]

Take care when cleaning the decals as they may not have a clear protective overlay. Spray on lots of lubricant and try an inconspicuous corner using the clay mitt with very light pressure.

I’m afraid that’s a no no.

Just use car shampoo with water as a lube

Washing up liquid has salt in it, it’s not kind to paint/rubber etc etc

I knew you were gonna say that Rich, yes I know but it’s only for a one off and you only have to use 2-3 droplets in a bottle spray, and besides one winters day is going to get more salt then a whole bottle of fairy…

 

[Folkranger]

I had exactly the same. White motorhome 2ft from my fence. Fortunately it was close boarded so not too much came through. It came off fairly easilly with a polishing cloth and a lot of elbow grease.

Its the decals that can be the issue.

As they say you can take a horse to water

Also if you have waxed or protected your bodywork salt from the road will sit on the protection.
Claying is removing that protect

Good luck to the OP for tackling the fence overspray, I bet the neighbour feels terrible now, or they should, it was far too windy this week to even think about spraying anything outside.
Trouble is these new water based fence paints, even the premium brands, are so thin, they don't last very long in colouring the fence, especially along the top rails. So it wont be long before they have to do it again, hopefully with a bit more consideration next time.
It says 5 year protection on the tin....Yea right!

It is me!
The first attempt of removing surface contaminants like over spray should be done using a clay bar. Then if that doesnt work try a cutting polish.
I have a few clay bars in stock at super a funster price, please message me.
Of course I also have some polish left in stock. I have sold my business due to health issues but will always be around to advise.
Im handing control over at the Peterborough show

No we don’t, who are you

A clay bar should lift it off.

Whilst we were away for a few months we left our MH parked in our drive, one of my neighbours decided to spray his garden fence near the van. One side is now slightly speckled with grey Ronseal fence paint. Some spots are on the light grey body, some on the plastic windows, some on the plastic wheel arches and body parts and some on the decals. Can anyone advise what I can use to remove the spots without damaging the surfaces?

PS. It's the side of the van shown in my avatar.

You could try using panel wipe this is what I have used when you need to remove old stickers from body work..

It may be worth contacting the paint manufacturer. They will know the make up of the paint and could possibly advise on best cleaning method.
Most of those fence paints have a wax base, so may be worth trying hot soapy water. If it works just don't go too hot on the vinyl's.
