Default Whats the best way to get tint off a set of tail lights?

yea so some retard puts tint over the tail lights of the car i just bought. my friend told me since it was on there for a while it'd be a bitch to get off. i'm not sure what the best method would be so i'd rather ask.

anyone ever had to do this? tint was on there prob a year or so if that makes a difference.

please post if u have any info that would be helpful.


THANX in advance!!!!

wet sand and polish afterwords, just look for the thread about renewing headlights. it is the same plastic so the same principals apply and then it will look like new again

i dunno about wetsanding plastic. use some paint thinner first, powerful stuff, dont let it sit, put it on, take it off, im sure it will work, then polish it to a finish
