Get off overspray without destroying paint?

I painted my engine compartment 2 weeks back with dupli color undercoating looks awesome but discovered I got some overspray on the fenders, under the sheets I used to cover them. What is the best safest way to get it off?

Thanks

Shawn

Some Wal-Marts carry them... all the Advance Auto's I've been to stocks them as well. Basically any automotive store Clay Bar's were originally used to remove overspray from surfaces from what I recall reading, it'll cost about $15 for a complete kit with quick detailer to wet the surface with, the bar and a small bottle of wax. You can probably pick up the bar by itself if you look hard enough.

Clay is the best. Also gets of stuck on bugs, asphalt, etc.
