      This. Or use mineral spirits, you won't hurt your cars finish and it's the easiest way to get the over spray off.

          When I worked at Gardena Body Shop, we would use xylene to get over spray off of everything, including seats.Wash with soapy water right away.

            This.

            I spray painted all kinds of strange things on my GLI after an accident. Then I got bored and decided to clean the paint off and repair the car. Acetone did the trick like a charm and did not damage any paint.

            After the acetone though it doesn't hurt to buff and wax.

                Damages paint more rapidly than other stuff and is harder to clean off. Also leaves residue.
