    Has anyone ever had overspray and rusty fallout land on their yacht or boat and if so what do you recommend to remove it safely without damaging the Awlgrip top coat?

    not allowed to use an abrasive product that will remove microns of the top coat of the Awlgrip paint for this yacht is worth millions of pounds 205ft to be exact thanks anyway.

    Swissol paint rubber

    According to your own website Swissol paint rubber is the thing to use:

    From: http://www.autoshinespecialistvaleting.co.uk/oversprayremoval.htm

    Is the kind of contamination you are talking about here different from the one described one your website?
