   I wouldn't use T-Cut. It's not particularly good stuff, theres some reasons why in the Car Care section. If I were you Get some very very high grade (2000+ Grit) wet and dry paper, and very lightly sand the specific areas where theres paint, then basically polish and polish until it comes back to a nice shine.
   
   I wrote a wetsanding guide a while back, no pics but you get the idea

   Claying is a process used by car detailers to remove overspray.
   
   quite simply its a piece of clay like material that you rub over the affected area to remove the paint.
   
   have a look on www.cleanyourcar.co.uk for details on claying
