Re: overspray... HELP

try a clay bar first.

I do a lot of over spray removal jobs, and clay is the first thing I grab. Anything left over is taken care of by a light-medium polish.

If the rims are chrome, try steel wool #0000

Claybar for the win! Mild will take a little wile, if you use the aggressive type, youll have to buff.
