Just a polishing compound will do the trick mate, wouldn't advise using paint thinners unless you are experience in using that sort of thing

This!

Clay is intended to remove overspray, go on youtube and search for removing overspray - you'll find they recommend clay and show you how.

+1 on the clay bar and detailing spray, as a little cheap skin flint trick you can use a spray bottle with some weak wash and wax solution and use some blue tac........yes blue tac!
not as effective as the real macoy but still gets it off quite well

But if youve cleaned them up alread then this post is a little pointless i suppose but might be of help to somebody.
