Removing overspray from Alloys

Does anyone know how to get overspray off from the inside of alloy wheels?

My E60 was touched up (a wee scratch) before I bought it and on cleaning the insides of the front alloy wheels I discovered that one had silver overspray on the inside of the rim.

The overspray has sort of sealed in the brake dust and tar spots to some extent and I couldn't remove them with a clay bar.  The other front wheel came up lovely with Autoglym wheel cleaner and rubbing over with my old clay bar.

The clay wouldn't work on the overspray alloy.  It was too rough a surface, the clay really dragged over the surface.

Any thoughts?

Just don't forget, if you do use T-Cut make sure you use a polish afterwards to seal the finish, any good polish will do the trick, you could then use poorboys wheel sealant on top to provide extra protection so they are a lot easier tio keep clean from the front without having to remove the rims periodically.

Hey Andrew.  Megs do an agressive overspray clay available from their shop.  Only have mild at the moment tho :( http://www.meguiars.co.uk/cgi-bin/specwd.pl?pc=C2000&tp= 0

What im worried about is, if they have oversprayed paint onto the alloy, then they will probably have oversprayed clear coat ont them too, thus sealing it in.

Try the t-cut method also, before trying the clay.  Also look into a wheel sealent for protecting the wheels and keeping them looking better for longer   Just clean the alloy, polish if you like, then use the wheel sealent (poorboys wheel sealent gets a good write up)
