How to clean overspray on powdercoated wheels?

I just had my blazer two-toned and my wheels got some overspray on them. They are gloss black powdercoated 16" irocs. What should i use to get the overspray off without damaging the finish?

oh yea, after they painted your truck did they bake it in an oven?
and the longer it is on there the harder it will be to remove.

Yea it was in the oven for a bit. Do you think cleaner wax might work?

seeing clay is formable it goes where ever you make it go.
the problem with most claybars is its to plyable and soft, it breaks up and disinigrates. the one i posted does not do any of this. it is of top quality and i would never use any other claybar, period.
