Over spray

I have a dilemma.

I took on a job of detailing the neighbors car which is going to be up for sale. While it looks incredible, I noticed that it had over spray when I was done. The car got the works, scratch removal, polish, two coats of wax. The only way you can tell it has over spray is if you back side your hand over it and feel it with your finger nails. The terrible deal is that I think it was my mother who is responsible. She was painting 2 bakers style plant racks with aerosol cans without a booth (even painted the pathway a bit), but I was the one who told her it wasn't too windy. I had no idea she was going to go crazy with it, nor did I pay attention to where she was painting them. The most idiotic part was that I should have told her it's too windy regardless of the weather conditions, based on my agenda. I feel responsible in part, but in no way shape or form do I want to do the work in full, again.

I have to tell the neighbor, but I don't think I should tell him how I think it happened. The problem may have to be cured, but it might not. It won't cost him a dime either way. Should I inform my mother? Should she buy the clay bar? Should I say nothing to her? Should she buy the beer for my work party?
