I tried to black out my taillights with "Nite Shades" (Stupid Idea) and now my taillights look reallly crappy, what can i do to remove the paint? I already tried nail polish remover and gasoline and so on but nothing works, Will WD-40 work? or can i sand them down? Please help!!! :(

Let it dry. Pour mineral Spirits [Paint Thinner] into a metal (throw away) can about the size of a soup can. Take a wad of "0000" [4-"OH"] steel wool, dip it the MS, and rub away the the paint. Repeat until done. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. If plastic is dull, buy some Plastic Polish (#2) or even headlight polishing kit.
Pulling the taillight assemblies will make it easier to clean more throughly.

Gentle use of brake cleaner fluid! Use a soft tissue and try not to rub too much! if you see any change in the plastic, wash with water and soap then start again.
