How do I remove paint overspray from wheels?!

[Constable]

AGH!! I just washed my car and found that I ahve overspray on the tailpipes and rear wheels! My MM was in the body shop yesterday and must've gotten a poor masking job. I can't go make the shop clean it, because they did all the work for a case of Heineken... I'll have to suck this one up on my own.

The overspray is not noticeable to the eye at all. As I was washing the car, I began to feel the rough texture. Upon closer inspection I noticed the tiny little black dust-like specs all over the wheels.

What will take this off safely?

Also, my wheels have been looking dull lately anyway, so how do I shine them up like new? Do I have to spend a day with some polish? Hope not...

Clay bar will work on overspray.

Wheels have clear coat on them. Try wax?

I am also a big fan of using clay . Try it , I'm sure that it will work.

clay bar would probably work on the wheels as they are clear coated. A cleaner wax or mild polish should work as well.
You shouldn't have to, and don't want to, get too aggressive with it.
The exhaust tips aren't clear coated, and Mac's vinegar formula just might work there.

Try 3M Adhesive Remover. I've used this for detailing purposes for years and it won't harm the clear coat finish.
