I have devised a seperate technique without the "official" chemicals and pads they have in the kit.

But wont spend $50 to try it out.... was trying to help all parties out.

 

dang seems like an aweful lot of hassle....maybe clear IX tails for VII tails just isnt meant to be lol!!

 

lol - maybe not. If Eric doesn't take my VIII tails you are more than welcome to have them for free. You could paint them up like VII's.

 

I agree with Ryan, that's what I had to do to my tails first to get the old VHT tint off, then again to get the tint back off because it wasn't dark enough (I made sure I didn't have that problem this last time for sure!).

But I just used goo gone and a crap load of manhandling, then some 2000 wetsanding followed by plastix lens restorer.

They looked damn near brand new after that!

But hindsight, I probably shouldn't have put those last two coats on...and I aint scrubbing those things again cause it was a pain.

 

watch out for that guy's ego... you dont want him thinking he knows anything.

 

Laqcuer thinner and buffing up.. i did few times Cheers.

 

Im collision tech... you can Laquer thinner. but it would smear but not destory.. it quick... Wetsand 800 then 1000 then 2500 gt and buffint it will make like a brand new len

 

Lacquer thinner destroys plastic. First it smears. Scrub harder and longer and it turns it to a sticky goo. Then no amount of buffing will fix it when you have reached that point.

 

Not all.. Mine dont beacsue there a diffrent kinds of laquer thinners...

 

there have Heavy, Med, Mild, n Wood laquer thinner. but i used mild then not rubbing.. just make it black paint soft then wet sand.. or

320 Mini DA then 800 wet sand then 1000 wetsand then 2000 wetsand... it will come shine like brand new

 

Then you should get a little can for Dan and Brett so they can use your lacquer thinner to take that tint off. All I have are the 3 gallon drum ones used to clean paint guns.

 

You do auto body.., i have 5 Gal bucket of Laquer thinner for my Iwata paint guns and Sata too. and clean up cars too.
