Hi, i was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on what to use to clean overspray on our stock wheels. I bought my car used and I just noticed that the front right wheel had some paint overspray, not much, just a little on the edge and one spoke got a little on the end as well.
I don't know how long it's been there, but it's been there for at least 2 months.
So is there something I can try to clean the overspray off? Or I am SOL?

 

clay bar has worked for me, never tried it on a wheel though.
i would assume its the same thing

 

I will try that this weekend. These are just stock wheels, but still I want to make my Z look the best possible.

 

the paint might have cured on the rims already... it does get hot there.
Still racing? I am out... will be selling my stuff soon!!

 

Yeah, I can't fix the overspray. I will have to live with it until i have enough money for new wheels.

I still race, but a lot less now, maybe once a month. Don't quit racing man! Just go once a month or something like that!

 

Wet sanding then rubbing compound on a rag. Grab some 1000-1200 grit sand paper, wet it down, lightly sand where the overspray is and then get some rubbing compound, Meguiars or 3M. Put it on a microfiber or just a rag of some sorts and rub it in, hard and fast, hahaha. Goodbye overspray. Then wipe some Polish/wax over the area to cover up any light swirl marks. BOOYAH!

Or just go to a local bodyshop supply place and get some 100% virgin solvent put it on a rag and rub it on. But since its been on the wheel for a couple of months wet-sanding is a better bet.

 

Some good info.
