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 |

Yes and yes. The windshield and other glasses can be clayed without any worries.

I'm considering taking a cloth with some paint thinner, I'm worried about the clay making my windows hazy like it did with my previous 335i
