Soo long story short, I'm painting my silver rims black (Don't worry, they're coming off my FS thread) and while I've had them off and been on steelies, a couple of my buddies decided to play a joke on me and paint my steelies...farm tractor yellow.

It was a funny joke until I noticed all the pollen on my car...permanent pollen, that is. Yellow overspray.

It's on both sides of my car and my windows, side and quarter. I have turtle wax rubbing compund and a mothers powerball...and that's about it. I obviously don't want to damage my existing black paint, so how do I go about removing this stuff without damaging my actual paint? Will the rubbing compound work or is there something better I could use?

To update:

The clay bar has been working rather well with some instant detailer applied to the car.

The goo gone works...sorta kinda. I'm using a microfiber cloth but I think I might try paper towels next.

laquer thinner will take it all off no problem.

Without damaging my paint? We got the driver's side pretty much clear, just a few of the heavier areas are stuck pretty good.

Didn't touch the driver's side but this stuff got everywhere because it's not normal paint, it's rustoleum farm equipment paint...it looks and feels heavier than regular auto paint. If that makes any difference.
