try using a claybar kit on it. Even new cars can have overspray.

Autoglym interior shampoo or the 303 Cleaner and Spot Remover are some of the best by far and some of my personal favorites.

Available from forum sponsors (you can also order in gallons if you so wish).

I'd recommend going to Walmart or Target and picking up the Meguiars or Mother's claybar kit as a starter. It might cut slower but it'll get you used to using a clay kit
