Use 3M gloss poliser (Non-abrasive). Usually it comes in a huge bottle for body shop use. You can request a small smount from your body shop.

Polish will not remove overspray. Either a light compound rub, or get the clay magic kit, with a clay bar and spray.

Take it back. Don't even waste your time and money. Pretty shodding work if you ask me.

I dunno if Mequires makes a clay bar set-up, but I do know Mother's does....http://www.mothers.com

It is not a hard at all, but as NSXNEXT said, take it back and have them do it.... I know body shops around here charge 15-25 bucks just to cover your vehicle so it doesn't happen... but it still does.

Just take it back and bitch. Why screw around with it? If you fuck it up you'll be bullshit.

First, take it back and talk to them about it.

Second, if that doesn't work, use a clay bar.

1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Polish
4. Wax

Claying takes 45 minutes at most, but it's the polishing and waxing that will take time, as claying removes all wax.
