Anyone know a good product to tale overspray off plastic!Last owner of car I have purchased has tried repainting the leather seats and in the process has left overspray on the door trims etc.Wax and grease remover perhaps!

What are the door trims finished in! Solvents can be nasty on certain materials.
As for wax and grease remover. It all depends on the type of paint that the overspray is. W&G wont budge 2k.
If the overspray is really bad, then ----YIKES---- you may have a nighmare on your hands.

Just your standard plastic used for sills/door trims etc.Car is 99 Accord.Don't know what paint it is,it's flaking of the seats though!Some people lol.Might go and see a car groomer,they might be able to recommend something.

You could try a bit of nail polish remover on a small inconspicuous part. Give it a quick firm wet rub, then immediately wipe dry with a clean rag. Same goes with lacquer thinner if you have any. Just don't wet it up too much.

Take the plastic bit off and see what is wriiten on the back, it might be ABS, then google what chemicals can and can't be used.

DO NOT use that stuff.it wrecks upholstery.I know as I've tried to use it to remove marks.takes the colour out immediately.! I was told sugar soap is good for cleaning upholstery!

LOL.
Sugar soap will not remove paint overspray. Sugar soap will clean dirt and grime with great results.
The method I mentioned is used a lot in the auto trade on hard plastics. Definitely not on fabrics though. (felt ect)

Grangies is correct, take it from another painter. I can't count the number of times I've had to clean overspray off upholstery.

Brush and roller cleaner works well, but test first.water neutralizes it immediately, so have a small bowl at hand, and apply gently with one of those green dish scrubbers.walter
