can you wait to clay overspray? (long)

Thanks to those who responded to my last post. Went to a detailer who said he would clay and buff the entire car to get rid of the overspray. 340 CDN $ later, detailer got the overspray off on the hood roof and trunk but overspay left on the sides of the car. When I went to pick up the car he told me he spent 3 hrs claying the car and the overpsray I was seeing in the sunlight was not actually overspray but the pitting from the overspray with the overspray actually clayed away. Buffing was done quite nicely otherwise. When I got home I tried a household solvent remover Sol-U-Mel (some sort of melaleuca product that cleans oil based stains) over the "pitting" and the pitting comes off so its not pitting but overspray that the detailer did not clay off. I guess he got tired of claying halfway. So yes I intend to complain to the detailer. But can I wait till until the car gets dirty to clay off the rest of the overspray myself or do I ruin the wax and buff job and clay it now? I do not see any pitting on the hood or trunk where the claying was done properly so I don't think the overspray is caustic (I've had the overspray about 3 weeks). Or is overspray that much more difficult to get rid of if I for ex. wait till the spring?. Thanks (I've just ordered the griot's clay online)
