Hello everyone, I've been reading over the forums for the past couple of months and I have learned a great deal from you all

Now I have a question I parked my X5 (2005 3.0L) in my usual spot near my office building, at the end of the day I decided to give the old girl a wash. To my astonishment the paint felt like sandpaper. I usually claybar and wax every 3 months and the paint always feels like silk. I later learned that the guys next door to me were spray painting and the spray must have landed on my car

It's completely invisible to the naked eye but I can feel it on the paint and the windows. I'm traveling to Texas soon so before I go I'm planning a full detail which should remove the spray paint, BUT my question is:

- Is it safe to clay bar the rain sensitive windshield?
- I noticed the windows seem to have a water resistant coating on them, can I clay bar the windows as well without scratching them?


May Thanks fellow BMW fans
