Re: Rain-X Headlight Restoration Kit project

If it's a film (I can't tell), then use a heat gun or blow dryer to soften the adhesive. Be careful, you may pull chunks of the UV clear off the headlight, if you're too hasty. If you're feeling a little hesitant, any tint shop can remove it.

If that's a spray tint, it gets a little trickier. You can mask around it and use the same sanding method to remove haze or yellowing. Graduating to a finer grit, then polish. The spray tint is basically the same as the UV clear applied to the headlight.

But, IMO, suck it up and buy a bottle of goo-gone
Its like $3 for a decent sized bottle, and is a great addition to the house/garage.
I cant even say how many times i've used this thing, it's awesome.

Floss works too, but i prefer fishing string, it has more cutting action than floss
Just ask a neighbor, friend or relative that goes fishing for like 10" of string, i'm sure they wouldnt mind :P

Claybar...well, looks like you're gonna buy a claybar anyways :P

yeah ive used that goo-gone stuff before. that stuff works wonders. i just got in the mood to do it that day and didnt have any, but ill grab a little bottle next time i go to the store.

and ill see what i can do about the fishin string. why are these things so difficult to get off? i had no idea it would be such a big issue when i put the stupid thing on there. lol

and yep, next time i wash and wax my car, im headed to autozone to get the mothers claybar kit. i cant wait to try that thing out and for my paint to look wet when im all done

Re: Rain-X Headlight Restoration Kit project

Because the adhesive behind the emblem heats up on the hood of your dark colored car
On a sunny 75 deg day, your car paint can reach temperatures of well over 100, melting the adhesive onto your car

That's why some people refuse to put bumper stickers on. They're a B!@#$ to get off
