station Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 White spirit with a bit of elbow grease. Carb cleaner works good as well.Or on the safe side, car polish, used with a really soft cloth (it will scratch the plastic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbrasher25 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) i've used bug remover spray before just spray and let is stay there for a while then respray and let it sit for awhile then used a orbiter with a soft waxing rag on it,the really cheap one from wal-mart,resprayed it one last time and then took the orbiter to it,very gently while it's orbiting and it did a fantastic job,after that i washed it off and placed a rubbing compound of your choice on it,let it dry to a haze,then took the cheap orbiter and placed the polisher wrap over it and polished the tail lens to almost a scratch free look,very shiny....................................................

ucw458 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Don't use brake cleaner or anything else with acetone in it. Acetone melts plastic. Carb cleaner will also eat plastic if left on too long. Use brake fluid and a soft rag to buff the paint off. Soak it if necessary. Brake fluid wont hurt the plastic.
