      Removing overspray on wheels

      Hello PT folks,

      I have some Boze wheels with matte black finish that look to have overspray on them. Does anybody have suggestions on how to clean this up without damaging wheels? I looked online and saw some videos using clay bar method but wanted to see if there were other alternatives before doing that.

      Thanks

      Always try gentlest method first and backside of wheel for something harsher.
      Hopefully it's not much overspray & not 100%firmly bonded.
      Be advised that matte finishes may change sheen when wiped or polished.
      Next up in harshness could be wiping with acetone, lacquer thinner ,paint reducer, or mek. Mek could be 2nd effective & I have wiped aged automotive clear with it. Automotive clear paint reducer probably strongest.

      I'd ask the guys in this group, they are wizards at detailing all things.
