      Overspray on trim (how to remove from plastic without damaging it?)

      Company came in and painted roof at my work. Car was completely cover in white oil based overspray. Took five hours of clay bar and wax to get it off the paint. Now I'm down to all the exterior plastics. What can I use to get it off that won't discolor or melt plastic. I tried a small spot with thinner but it tried to melt the plastic. Any ideas are appreciated

      I'd probably hit it with some rubbing compound.
