Hiya, someone has just emailed me and asked can I remove the tinting off the rear lights if they buy the car I am selling on ebay
they were on the car when i got it, so dont know how they were done. If they are home made is there a way I can remove the tinting spray?
some people ask the strangest things!

if they are home-made you just need some hammerite thinner i think its called. i had some in my garage but can find it.

I got some of the all-red spray on the garage floor and after lots of scrubbing and swearing I tried white spirit and it came off easily.
Not sure if the smoked spray is a very different formula or whatever.

ok cheers, if the guy buy's the car I will chuck in a bottle of white spirit cheers!
I will let him do it though, knowing me I'd melt the plastic

I know halfrauds do a special remover for tinting spray but white spirits or thinner will most likely be cheaper.
