Paint overspray on stock exhaust
Anyone knows a good spray to clean a silver overspray on the stock exhaust can just below the rear bumper?

If it's the stock exhaust, I assume you don't care if it gets scratched. Try WD-40 and steel wool...

Mineral spirits is a light solvent and should work. Wipe it off afterwords with soapy water.

If it's just on the exhaust, use some Paint Thinner, just don't get any on the paint of your Z. The Paint Thinner will take the overspray right off your exhaust without much scrubbing, apply with an old rag or shop/paper towel.

Brake cleaner will take care of it.... it should wipe right off. Just be careful not to spray the car.
