Even though thats clearly a hell of alot more then overspray, I think it will help.

do yourself a favor and go to canadian tire and buy some varsol for $2.99

I am 90% sure this will remove the silver.

I agree about the claybar idea. I just removed a ton of rail dust with a clay bar. I bought the cheap 10 autozone version, worked great
