over spray is paint that did not touch a surface and floats around. Not really of a sure/safe way to remove it.

^Yup, it will. Any abrasive products, like a polish or a compound, should too. You don't want to use a compound, tough.

Go to Ace Hardware and tell them that you have overspray on some parts and they'll tell you what you need.

Most of the stuff people posted here will work. However, if its caked on and left on for awhile, even the best paint thinner, or Clay Bar wont work. In that case, you might even have to wet sand it down to the point where the paint is really thin, and then use thinner, paint remover, or the Clay Bar.
