Remove Paint Overspray
Can anyone help me??? I need some advice as to removing paint overspray from plastic trim that has a chrome finish. Some paint is on the headlight lens as well. If anyone knows of any products, techniques or books on the subject I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!!!

Automotive paint from a touh-up job done prior to my purchasing the vehicle. If it matters it is a Chrysler Pacifica/ Silver paint. I really don't want to marr or haze the psudochrome surface or the clear plastic surface.

I have heard, but never tried, this is one of the magics of WD-40. Spray it on the overspray or saturate a cloth and lay it on the paint, let it set overnite and then wipe the overspray off. Don't know it it works but is certainly worth the try. Let us know what happens. Have a good one. Geo

I've had good luck removing overspray with the clay detailing bars
I use Mother's, but there are many on the market
They usually need a detailing spray to be used in conjunction with them, read the instructions
Admittedly I don't recall using it on plastic, but it tends to work well on fresh overspray on paint/clearcoat
Well enough that I'd give it a shot on the plastic

I have heard the lacquer thinner can be used to remove overspray and it will not damage clearcoat if you wipe it off immediately. I don't know about plastic though.

Going to try the WD-40. Seems to be the least caustic of substances. We'll see how it goes!!! Thanks to all for your help.
