if you are worried about scratching your paint you can use NevrDul. its a chrome/metal polish that will take off overspray. it worked on my 86's rims after i touched up the black paint on the inside. good luck!

Blow off the fibers with compressed air when you're done. You don't want that stuff sitting on your paint.

WD40 will work amazing well, spray some on a rag and try it.
