Test Job
OK, I've been offered a detailing job at a local high end used car shop. My test case is a 1967 Camaro. It has minor paint overspray on the steering wheel. I was thinking of using 0000 steel wool to remove it. Does anyone have an opinion?
Thanks

If it's a plastic one, use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Unless it is a polished metal surface, steel wool is a no.
Is this hypothetical? Somewhere along the line someone overlooked a part of the prep for paint, as things like this shouldn't happen.

If it's a painted wheel, which I think it should be, I would use a clay bar for removing overspray.
