How to remove paint from the molding?

I recently got my car back from the body shop and realized that there are some paint on portions of the car molding. I would hate having to leave my car at the shop again, so I would like to try and remove this myself. The areas with paint are the back window molding and my front right door window molding. The molding is a soft rubber and not sure what I should use to remove the paint without damaging the soft rubber. Has anyone run into this same situation before or know how to fix it?

As for any detailing products I have... I only have the regular Zaino ZFX Z5, Z2, Z7, clay bar and rubbing compound.

you might want tot try the mr clean magic eraser. I hear it works wonders on trim. It apparently takes a thin layer off the top of the surface which may work at removing the paint.

Call in advance and let them know you are bringing it back and are going to wait while they do it. That's unacceptable.
