What would be the best way to remove overspray from wheels? I bought some used wheels and 2 feel like they have overpsray on them.

I would try a clay bar.

clay bar is your only real option. If the fine stuff doesnt work step it up to a medium but you will have to machine polish the car afterwards with medium. Chris

I was just going to say that... I've used Griots "Fine Hand Polish" with great results. It's not very abrasive, so it doesn't cut into the clearcoat, adn removed things that claying left behind. I just spent 6 hours on each car this past weekend. (too bad it's freaking snowing out now!)
