I'm thinking a clay bar will take off the overspray, but I'm not sure if it'd scratch. Ask Meguiars or someone who knows their clay bars.

Might try nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol, or try some acid.

try paint thinner. Then some rubbing alcohol. the paint thinner should do it.

and all the above would be the wrong way to or the right way if you want to trash them more than they are.

Get some medium rubbing compound and a soft cloth and polish them they will clean up nice and it will take the fade out of them.
