NEED HELP with friends Tail lights

MODS can you please lock or delete this thread in the other section since i did not get that many replies


Ok i used niteshades on my previous maxima, and when it came out too thick i used parts/brake cleaner to clean it.

Then sprayed it back and it came out fine

I did 3 out of 4 tail lights on my friends car and it came out excellent but ran a little, so what i did i used some brakes/parts cleaner to clean it. Then i ran out and my friend said use throttle body cleaner to clean the paint off

i painted it again after washed it with soap and the light looks soo blurry and hazy really horrible, i mustve done this tail light about 8 times and everytime it gets worst

Any advice guys? the only thing i can think of is sanding it lightly?

thanks

Do a progressive wetsand from coarser->finer, and use meguiars sratch-x to clear the tails. Then, do the nightshades. That should work, that's what everyone does when their headlights get that hazy, dirty look that just comes with old plastic. Hope this helps
