Hey guys I thought I'd enlighten some people on the way that I removed my "nightshade" off of my tail lights,
Basically just put some petrol on a rag and a bit of elbow grease and it came straight off. I then used some fw1 wax on them afterwards just to clean them up a bit. I've heard that it could send the tail lights cloudy from using petrol but will just have to wait and see as I only did it about half an hour ago.
Anyone have any other methods they used to remove this stuff and been successful?

you'll most likely have removed the UV protective layer on them - so I would expect they will cloud up after a bit.

Maybe add a clear film once you've polished them and you are happy with how they are.

Easiest way to get rid of nightshade is to fit another set of lights.
