Why Low-Bid Overspray Removal Always Costs More
When handling contamination claims, the instinct might be to choose the lowest bid to control costs. However, in the specialized field of overspray removal, choosing the cheapest vendor is often the most expensive long-term decision. For Insurance Adjusters and Claims Managers, understanding the direct connection between low-bid methods and massive claims liability is essential to protecting your portfolio and your bottom line.
The True Cost of Cheap Overspray Removal
The danger lies in the method. Non-specialized and low-bid vendors primarily rely on high-speed mechanical buffing to remove contaminants quickly. While fast, this abrasive method generates intense heat and friction. This not only fails to lift the contaminants completely but, more critically, causes permanent, irreparable damage to the vehicle’s finish, known as swirl marks and holograms.
When a vehicle’s clear coat is damaged by aggressive buffing, it exposes the underlying paint to rapid deterioration. This means the immediate claim may be closed, but the subsequent claim—the one for paint failure, compounding damage, or a full repaint—will be significantly higher, pushing your total claims cost far past the original low bid. This liability falls directly onto the insurer.
Risk Mitigation: The Hand-Removal Imperative
Nationwide Overspray eliminates this liability by using a meticulous hand-removal process. Our superior removal process is completed by hand with no mechanical buffing that might scratch the clear coat.
We use advanced, tailored techniques based on the specific contaminant (such as enamel, epoxy, or tar) to lift the foreign material entirely without compromising the factory finish. This preserves the vehicle’s integrity, ensuring the finish we restore is as good as, or better than, its pre-damaged state. By preserving the original paint, we protect you from future supplemental claims, thereby minimizing your insurance claims liability.
