i got home from school today and started messin with my taillights that i thought were screwed. it took me 2 hours to get them back pretty much normal. but i think they are all good now. ill post some new pics when i get them on my car. im sure it will look alot better just like you guys said. oh yea, i strongly suggest nobody tinting their taillights with spray unless you are ready for some WORK to get it off. i know there wont be any more of that going on mine. what kind of stuff do i need to use to clean them and shine them a little more. maybe some sort of wax or something...?

Wally mart sells those little polishing kits, they are a rip off for 10 bucks, but they hook into your drill and you just mist them with water and they go to work. That might help a little, but you could probably just buy some polishing pads and or some really good degreaser or something.

If its that glue gunk you are dealing with, vodka will take off some of it, maybe all of it. But It probably isn't the best thing for the paint, so use it sparingly.

It's funny what you figure out when your drinking :-)
