Dumb mistake, please help.

lacquer thinner will work fine.

Paint thinner as previously mentioned, or even a good swirl removal product and a D/A buffer will do it for removing light overspray.

Is Shiner Bock OK for dark coloured vehicles?

I bought the mothers clay bar kit, comes with the clay, showtime spray, and carnauba wax.
I will "wax on, wax off" Sat. and let everyone know how it goes.

So when doing the clay, do you guys recommend breaking chunks off a little at a time then?

[TSR6]

YES.

I usually break mine in half. Put one half in a ziplock back, and then use the other half. You might use both, but regardless - if you drop one of the halves - THROW IT OUT, and start with the new one.

If your car has never seen a clar bar, I would suggest on planning to use both halves. As it gets a little dirty, roll it back into a ball and flatten out a fresh surface. You need to be the judge on when it gets to dirty - a little isn't bad...but at least plan on doing this for each body panel ( maybe more) until you know when is time.

-Quick Spray is your friend, don't be afraid to use a lot of it.
-NEVER, EVER use dropped clay
-Wipe up your detail spray as you move along with a nice microfiber cloth
-Polish/Wax when you're done!

Definitely clay bar. I prefer a good QD as my lube and just make sure you keep kneading the clay and using a fresh surface often. Do a small panel and then roll clay in ball and mix up and then re flatten like a pancake and do next section. Plenty of QD as a lube. DO NOT rub hard as it is not required for the clay bar to work properly, it should lightly glide across finish. If you drop it get a new one.

Do baggie test to verify all contaminants have been removed.

What is the baggie test?

I did the clay bar today, it all came off. but the one area with the most over spray took a few times to get it all off.

That showtime spray is really nice, it does not streak or anything. very smooth afterward.

Thanks for the recommendation guys.

Glad it all came off for you. The baggie test: Take a piece of plastic wrap or a baggie and slide it over the paint. If it drags or catches on the paint there are still contaminants left behind. It should glide smoothly.
