If it works on the grill of a Rolls-Royce and on the rims of a 355 Spyder, it will surely work on your rims without causing harm. You could opt to use MF if you're worried.
 
They got overspray on mine too!



Got my decklid painted, week later discovered overspray..



I'll try mineral spirits as well, but it might be really hard, cuz it has been on there for awhile.
 
The overspray is so heavy on my brother's Dodge Ram's wheels, they have to be stripped and recoated. Of course, a competent body shop has to completely strip the entire cab of his truck and reshoot it the repaint after hail damage was so bad.



I hope your wheels aren't that horrible. If the overspray is reasonable recent, mineral spirits may work.
 
I hate that body shop so freaking bad. I was told that they were good from a few people, I spent literally 12 hours repairing all the damage they did, my interior was a nightmare of dust. I am writing a strong letter to them tomorrow and filing a complaint with the better business buearue
 
The problem with 2k urethane overspray (single stage or clearcoat) is that once it cures on established paint (most oem wheels are also clearcoated or powdercoated) it re-polymerizes INTO the surface, becoming part OF it, rather than just sitting ON it. Years ago, enamel and lacquer overspray were pretty easily removed with clay, not so with today's 2k urethanes.



About the only thing you can do is (if the wheels are clearcoated oem) is wetsand and polish. Not fun. I'd make them repair it even if it meant them buying you new wheels. Push if you must. Good luck. :)
 
Im not sure but maybe using clay would help along with a good wheel cleaner and brushes that wont scratch the wheels, I agree on the mineral spirits as well if you can use it to remove sap off your finish why not your wheels.
 
So the shop doesn't have a warranty/guarantee/satisfaction policy? This should not be your problem, but rather their's...



Did you pick the wrong shop?



Good Luck,



Jim
