Been using Jenolite rust converter aerosol on the car & unavoidably created a small amount of overspray on a non-rusted (alloy) painted surface.

Surprisingly there's no info. on the can regarding this & as usual such official remedies are as/more expensive than the product itself, so any DIY ideas folks ?

Thanks all.
 
Try alcohol like meths or alcohol hand wipes but it's an epoxy resin type material and that type of product is bullet proof when it's dry so you are probably up the creek
 
I do not know the answer. .. Perhaps tell them that you have posted the question on this forum and see what they say.

Ultimately, I suspect that they will remind you that you should have masked off the area, but what have you got to lose?

Waterbased products can often be removed using meths/alcohol- as per @Wayners ' post. Cellulose thinner will be faster, but it may damage the existing paint. Cellulose will make water based paints go soft within minutes. Little effect on oil based paint. Will melt 2K paints though. I don't know what paints they use on cars these days.
