Car came back from body shop with film

[gcrispo]

I recently purchased a new car, there was a scratch on the trunk so the dealer had that area fixed and painted at a body shop. When I got my car back I noticed during a rain storm that my widshield wipers were smearing the water, plus the wiper motion on the glass had a friction sound like rubbing sandpaper. No matter how much I cleaned the winshield I cannot stop the water from smearing. During further inspection of the car it seems that there is a micro grit or film on the paint...it also makes the sandpaper sound when rubbed. Is it possible that my car sat in an area of the body shop with high concentrations of paint in the air which settled on my car? How can I remove this film from the widshiled and body paint? Advice is appreciated.

Sounds like paint over-spray to me. Personally I would make the body shop remove it, but you could use glass polish, fine steel wool w/ glass cleaner, or clay bars for paint will work(mother clay bar or something similar) How does the rest of your car feel, that may also have over-spray in which case the clay bar should also remove it.

I agree, sounds like over spray. I would have the bodyshop do it as well. no reason you should have to put the time and money into it.

Thanks for your feedback. I contacted the dealer and they will return the car to the body shop to remove the overspray.
