overspray removal on vinyl

Boy, I hate painters. Every problem is the customers fault and the customer must spend 2 hours clean up to every billed hour by the painter.
So how do I get rid of overspray on my BJ8's vinyl? The upholstery guy says wax and grease remover(prepsol). So far not effective. I am about ready for lacquer thinner.

I have used enamel reducer sparingly applying it with the finest steel wool, ooo? Be careful only work it for short periods. I cleaned off with 409 and then waited to apply again. Working too long will start to melt the vinyl. Good luck.

I would post that question on one of the Auto Detailing Facebook pages. Great resource for spills, stains, paint correction, etc, etc.
