possibly a clay bar, depending on what kind of overspray it is and how heavy it is. if it jsut a litle speckle here and there, a clay bar will probably get most of it. that is what i would start out with first.

I also had some overspray on the rear bumper it was thin but over a wide range... i used an old bottle of turtle wax rubbing compund and rubbed until I couldnt feel my arms. THe result it that it takes the paint down to its purest form. The only thing that I would suggest is to not rub on one spot for a rediculus amount of time. After you get it clean put a good coat of wax on it.
