Default paint dust remove?

hey all, I got my car repaint and the shop did a horrible job, so I got some paint dust on my wheels. I tried to clean out with regular wax stuff and it doesnt work. I tried those pink and orange compound polisher and it doesnt work either. I def. don't want to use sand paper because I dont want to remove the paint, so any other ideas to remove the paint dust???

I am assuming you mean there are dust particles in the paint? To remove those if they are in the clear you would have to wet sand it.

yeah, sort of like overspray it. I dont want to wet sand it because im afraid of sanding away the paint of the wheels as well.

get some bumper stripper, spray it on a rag and keep wiping until it comes off. if your wheels are painted or have a protective coating on them then do not do this. i'm not sure how this would effect powder coating, but i don't think it would hurt it. you can also try it on a small spot if you're not sure just to see how it will effect your wheel.
