For the overspray I would think clay bar would do the trick. I've not used any on a plastic mirror piece though so I'm not exactly certain how it will turn out.

For the black plastic trim, try some Mothers Back to Black or some Poorboys Trim Restore. I've used both and like them pretty well.

I had overspray on my chrome wheels and mirrors and just used paint thinner. It only takes a little on a rag and then wipe it off with a damp (with water) rag. Came right off - had to use a little elbow grease where it was thicker. As far as trim, I just use plain old Armor All.
