Unhappy Line-X over spray.

Good day all, I have a little problem with my new 2002 S'cab. Just got it back late Friday afternoon from getting the bed Line-Xed and on Saturday morning while checking it out noticed some overspray on the cab, upon further inspection found a LOT of overspray. Went back to Line-X and they say they may be able to remove it with a "clay" cleaning process, have an appointment on the 5th of July with them. I would like to know if this is possable are they just going to screw up my paint job even more? Thanks for any help.

The clay will probably remove it. It might scratch the paint some though since line-X overspray is probably pretty rough.

If they know how to use the clay bar, it will remove the overspray with no problem at all. Hope things work out on the 5th, keep us informed.

I watched the guy remove my very light overspray (small dots on the rails) with a rag and some alcohol. I think it was a Denatured Alcohol. But if it's really thick I'd make them fix it, I'm sure you paid a good dollar for it.

Dealer subleted out removal of overspray and ex Line-X dealer (don't know the name of the prodect and they won't tell???) ate the cost of detail job. I think they used a acid type wash along with the clay bar as there is some staining at front bumper ends where they did not rinse the acid off good enough . Other wise it came out good but when I washed it the other day paint did not bead up very well like a cheap or a quick type detail wax. Does any body know of a klassie dealer or where it is sold in the Sacramento CA area, or is it better to order from the internet? Thanks for any help....

If you got stains on your plastic from the chemical they used then it was probably a fallout acid. That stuff will remove everything...and stain plastic

Try a BMW dealership for Klasse. If not you can order it from Klassedirect.com

Cool

Ordered Klasse "Exterior protection kit" and tried it out this weekend. Works and looks great.
