Removing Overspray

Hi all,
Back around last November my dad and I were repainting some equipment we had around here to sell. Well I got most of the prep done and he did most of the painting later on when I wasn't around but he left the pole barn doors open and the paint flew a good 50ft and landed/ dried on my cars.

Well I had the cover half way on the Talon so that saved me a bit of work but the whole Mercedes' paint now feels like sandpaper. Right after it happened I took some #0000 steel wool to the glass, it seemed to work well. Today I used some of that detailers clay to remove the overspray and it worked excellent, though I have to do it again as I see it is still a little spotty.

Anyway getting to the point, I know how to remove overspray from chrome, glass, paint, and plastic, but how do I remove overspray from rubber? Just let it wear off? I had just put on Meguirs Trim stuff the day before, but yet after several car washes the light yellow and black paint speckles still remain on it.

TIA,
