Vht nightshade removal
I just installed the night shade on my tailight and i am trying to take it off because I messed up when I sprayed it, what is the best way to remove it from our taillights,
After research I found that aerosol goof off and brake cleaner. Have anyone tried before Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk |
Brake cleaner will eat anything ... including paint so watch out!

So no brake cleaner on the taillight lens?

Did you read the link? It recommends that you remove the light first. I wouldn't risk my paint.

I used acetone to remove vht nightshade but it wasn't fully cured.

It's usually a bad idea to use brake cleaner on anything but brake pads and bare metal. As per JARblue, it will ruin paint. It will also attack many plastics.
First thing I'd try is soaking in hot water. If that didn't work, I'd try GooGone. If that didn't work, I'd contact the manufacturer and see if they had any tips. |
I wouldn't use acetone... it will eat the plastic lens. Brake cleaner doesn't seem to be as aggressive on the lenses. But I wouldn't be surprised if it does eat them a little.

So I succeeded in taking it off fully without using any chemicals that could eat up the lens, I used the meguiars headlight restoration kit (heavy duty) it took me 3 hours but the tailights are shinier than before
