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! :mad:

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.

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