black range rover, white paint overspray all over it cuz it was parked in the driveway while a house was being painted, i got all the oaverspray off the paint and windows, what can be down as far as the plastic trim and moldings around the vehicle? im assuming clay is not an option on moldings and plastic, it would just rip apart the clay correct? i know planty of products to shine molding, never had to remover overspray from moldings b4

I did one many year back that had white road stripping paint on it...that`s a lacquer based paint...What I did was use a strong APC..and a stiff bristle brush while I was washing the areas...wet down, spray on some APC, and use the brush to loosen up the paint. Mine took some doing but it came off.... then soapy water and rinse...Lucky for you that house paint is water based and it should lift with ease....on the rubber some WD40 is another trick on house paint or some PB TR...using a soft brush...let us know how it comes out

i can pick each grain of paint off with my nails real easily, but doing that would just take an eternity lol, i`ll try som apc or maybe even wd40

The brush will take it off then IMO...with mine the paint was welded on the plastic...the APC and brush should do the trick....it just needs to be rubbed a bit from what I can see of your post

plastic razor blade and a soft toothbrush did the job, only thing now is that it should be washed since some of the paint particles being dusted around, it was parked in so i couldnt get it washed 2day i cant see it being that big of an issue not washing right away though, its freshly waxed and stored inside as we speak
