Default cutting polish ?

Just bought a mk3 fiesta off an old couple and they have had the rattle can out and sprayed over bits on the car in quite big patches...any ideas what could help get back to the original paint to see what its like ?

Thanks

If they have sprayed over rust ect it might look worse,if the spraypaint is piss thin you might cutt its right back (or is that what your trying to do?) and revel the shit before they painted it
If you have a rotary try some g3 or one of the 3m polishes

Try an aggressive clay bar, they are supposed to be good on overspray etc.
