Clearcoat overspray dulled my chrome rims

I got my car painted, and they sprayed the clear coat on my chrome rims, now my rims look dull, how can I bring back the shine without damaging the rims, and make them shine again.

Hey, I used to detail cars and the cars we got out of the paint booth would have overspray on them and I found that 000 steel wool ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] get's the overspray off without any damage to the rims.they will look like new but only if there chrome. if they are stainless steel don't do it.
