try to buy a qt. of paint reducer. the fact of the matter is rattle can clear as shitty. more then likely youll be able to wipe off the vht. itll take a little bit off scrubbing and probably will make the taillights hazy. so theyll need to be buffed or recleared. the audi had vht on it when i got it, wiped that off with reducer and then sanded and buffed.
Hmm will have to give that a try, I tried just sanding it off but that didn't work to great. Stupid cheap easy mods that I did when I first got the truck that I wish I never did
I was just fixing to pm you
This, or I bought a can of aircraft adhesion remover (NOT PAINT STRIPPER- that shit will eat the plastic) just sprayed it on, let it sit for a minute, wipe off the vht, repeat a few times til it was all gone, then washed them real good with dawn dish soap and wetsanded with 1000 grit, washed again, let dry, sprayed with bulldog adhesion promoter, then a couple of coats of clear
Did my third brake light too, its had vht on it for over a year and it all came off just fine
Yea, I could get it just don't have a good place to spray it..at least if I get trash in rattle can clear its an easy fix, auto clear it too fucking expensive to fuck up lol
We used to go through that shit like crazy when I was in school too :nono:

Awww yea!! there is hope for mine!
What would you recommend is the best Rattle can clear then?
If you have a paint supply store I would go there and see what kind of automotive clear they have in rattle can but If you buy some adhesion promoter and spray the clear right (not too dry but keep it consistent and don't run it) then a few coats and i think you would be fine with something from AutoZone like duplicolor clear imo
I personally like Upol Clear#1 in a spray can. Dries good, use it a lot on the insides of rear body panels, and radiator supports, it says it's uv resistant on the can, but it is a spray can after all...
If you do have access to an air compressor and gun and are doing a lot of parts a great clear to look at is Deltron DC2000 with the DCH2015 hardener. At 85* it's dust free in less than 5 minutes, and dry to the touch in less than 15 minutes, buffable in 30. It is more expensive, but great stuff if you're working out of a garage. At 90* and above it's even faster! Two back to back medium coats and you're done.

Well attempted mine with the aircraft remover and it should be call taillight remover lol started to eat away at the plastic so looks like I am just going to be ordering new ones now
How long did you leave it on there for? You can't leave it very long, just spray some wait a second and wipe it off then repeat until clean..try wet sanding the light with some 800 grit then smooth it down with 1200..mine did that in a few little spots but I wet sanded them and it smoothed out
I didn't leave it on long I kept wiping and it came off and I guess to much came off idk. I also tried sanding and it is to far to save lol
That sucks man, if I had any idea it was gonna do that I wouldn't have told you to use it
