For the overspray on the wheels I would use a SMALL amount of paint thinners on a rag - maybe try the back of the wheel first to see if there is any reaction  :)

I would use TCut on the light housing - its a kind of "Cutting compound" so just rub it in like polish, You will feel it removing the "Rough spots" just don't go too mad  :) Then remove it the same as polish with a clean cloth - Then when its CLEAN just re-polish the area and you will see the difference  :)
