liquid luster wax

I would claybar the area. That should remove the overspray.

 

[crizzut]

yup, clay it then wax it

Use a medium grade clay.

Clay Majic, Clearkote, Meguiar's, Mother's, etc. etc. all make bars that are readily available and work well.

Liquid Lustre wax should not remove overspray. I haven't seen that stuff in years (Knoxville rod run in '94) and didn't know it was still around. I remember them lighting a used cop car hood on fire, it was entertaining, but I don't think it was the best wax in the world by any stretch, though it did seem to have a fair amount of solvents in it.

sould i clay bar the entire car or just the area?

well all that is necessary is the spots with overspray...but it sounds like you havent not used a clay bar in a long time so it would most likely make a world of difference on your entire car....

I would wash then clay the whole car then put a nice coat or two of wax on.

i dont know how indepth you are looking to take this, but if you clay bar the car, since that takes off the wax mostly anyways, it wouldnt hurt to wash with a dishsoap to remove all the wax completely to start. Then clay bar the car, and after that, you might check into a multi-stage detail, polishes and waxes, for a real deep shine that would most likely last you awhile. At least a couple coats of a decently thick long lasting wax (with ample time to dry in between applications) and then a coat or two of a quick wax so that if it does get rained on, the time spent on the heavy wax wasnt a waste and all you need to re apply is the top thin coat.
