Overspray is any airborne foreign contaminant, usually from the result of painting projects or industrial fallout, that is capable of blowing miles away and landing on any surface. Not all overspray is dramatically visible - a vehicle's finish may feel rough to the touch or 100k dull. Overspray substances can be various types of paint, sealant or any caustic material.

The cost to remove overspray from one vehicle varies depending on type of overspray, vehicle size, location, and also the number of vehicles affected. Nationwide does not charge for any administrative or hidden expenses, only the amount to repair the vehicle. Conventional repairs for removing overspray from cars through body shops are often 3 to 4 times more costly.
The Nationwide Overspray experts gently remove overspray with a careful process that does not harm the clear coat. We do not remove overspray with mechanical buffers. Everything is done by hand. We may use a dual action buffer in the final polishing step to hone the finish to a glossy shine. Proprietary cleaning products and techniques ensure unmatched results. No sanding or buffing is performed to ensure the vehicle is returned to its previous condition or better. These techniques vary depending on the vehicle finish and type of contamination. Nearly 40 years of experience has taught us the best method for any situation. The Nationwide Overspray experts always start with the least aggressive technique.
The time required for removing overspray from cars varies based on the size, color, and severity of the overspray. Most vehicles can be completed within the same day.
Our process is manufacturer approved and dealership recommended. It ensures only the overspray contaminant is removed, and the clear coat is not harmed.
If you are local and would prefer to drop off your vehicle, you are more than welcome, however, Nationwide Overspray is fully mobile, we will come to your house, school, work, or wherever the vehicle is located and repair it on-site. If the claim is located at a business with multiple cars, our overspray experts set up a schedule to clean while the car owner is at work.
