How to remove overspray from tint?

Folks, my paint shop didn't do such a good job at masking the car, so i've got overspray inside the cabin.

It's on the dash and other areas, which i'm able to remove with a clay+lube.

However, the tint also has it. I tried clay and liberal lube on a small part, and it's micro-scratches galore.

Any ideas on how to fix this short of getting new tint?

Thanks.

p.s. On a different note, how to remove white overspray on leather?

Try a really hot damp towel and wipe off. Almost to a boiling and becareful. it should work
with the dash, and the tints and leather
Goodluck

I would be pretty upset if this was my G....shouldn't the paint shop be responsible to get everything cleaned up

Cleaner wax with a terry cloth towel on the tint. I don't know any other option for the leather besides a leather cleaner by Lexol and some elbow grease.

Oh I wasn't saying to use it on the seats, was saying to use it on the tint. Usually it's pretty safe. The tint place has told me to use it to remove the 3M ink stickers on the tint.

Not sure if you're still having this problem, or if my solution is relevant but maybe try googone. I tried this and it made taking plasti dip over spray off easily. I know plasti dip isn't permanent so this might not work and I don't know if its safe to use on tints but interior dash should be fine as per isntructions.
