Overspray

When I was painting my truck I noticed (after it dried) some over spray on my tractor. light dropletts. Any tricks on getting it off. The paint is arcylic enamel with hardner. I tried paint thinner and denatured alcohol without results. Rubbing compound removes it slowly but it takes alot of work and time.

Buffer and compound is about the only way...
Lots of work though.

paint

I used a clay bar which worked well to removed the overspray but it dulled the paint. How do I buff acrylic enamel without burning the paint or put swirl marks in it.
