okay so i did some googling.. ya its a verb.. and i saw carb n choke cleaner and also lacquer thinner.. which would you use ? or do u have another choice.. and no wet sanding

[broken__one]

both of those will melt the plastic. wet sand is the way to go.

lacquer thinner. put some in a tin baking pan and set the tail lights in the pan lens down of course, let soak for 10 minutes and wipe it off. already had to do this twice.

didn't mess mine up at all and I've done it like 2 times now.

maybe its the amount of time you do it for ?

[alero_bmxer]

could be. the second time i did them they only sat for a couple minutes and still wiped right off.

hmm well i am going to keep looking for some.. i figure i have a can around here somewhere.. but i think its too strong but, would gas work ?

I'd get some acetone and put on a cloth and rub your tails with it, it should come off, and shouldn't harm the plastic. You can buy acetone in the auto section at wal-mart.

I used the thinner.. let sit for 6 min. and it works good

lol @ acetone. wtvrdood

lol @ carb cleaner. wtvrdood

i'd try MEK first. Methyl Ethyl Ketone
Then lacquer thinner next if the mek doesn't work. but don't be slow about it and i wouldn't "soak" it
the longer nasty things touch plastic, the more degrading it is and you'll see what look like spider cracks eventually.

i didnt let it sit tht long.. it turned out fine. i was retinting it anyways.. i did a red bar in the center of the lights and i liked it at first but, i got sick of it. so point being theyre going to be so dark you wont see the cracks

Also try thiss stuff called Goo Gone. It comes in liquid form and takes VHT off like magic.
