Default Made a noob mistake help needed

Yesterday I painted all my brake callipers.
To get the best finish I used Hammerite Spray rather than the tin and brush.

Masked everything up and they've turned out brilliant, only today I have realised there is red spray dots everywhere

They are only very light, I have no idea how I sprayed very close and it wasn't windy.

I've used mentholated spirits and it works but takes a lot of time, anyone got any ideas how to remove it from glass and from my wheels?

Cheers

give SMART WAX a try. The pink stuff.

At the autosport show demonstration it removed spray paint from a cars bodywork, and you can use the stuff on almost every part of your car, even glass.

Cheers guys!
I tried claying and it works really well but seems like it's going to take ages

A time consuming mistake.

If your not after an urgent fix, I can send you a block of aggressive clay if you want ? Would work faster and if lubed up properly wouldn't marr.

I'd only use clay personally.

As above, more so the aggressive clay, just be careful of marring with lots of qd.
