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?

another option and its what we used in my collision repair course at the local college and have to big bottles of it in my shop that get used all the time , just use some 3m perfect it machine polish and a clean towel , circle motions just like waxing it will come right out and wont hurt the paint a bit , if its really heavy you can use the 3m perfect it rubbing compound , then just wipe it clean , both are more exspensive then you will find at walmart or auto parts stores but they work great ,plus it can easly take out surface scrathes and scuffs , any auto body supply store will carry it or something comparable ,
