this might sound stupid but ive tried some of the special buys at autozone,advanced.etcand none have worked for me..honestly i used brake fluid and scrubbed kinda hard with an old rough wash cloth and it came right off...note it does take some elbow grease..i heard that from my uncle who said he used it for the lights on his semi and it came right off..let me know what happens if anyone tries

if you use brake fluid for it, MAKE SURE you take the lights off the car because if you dont and you accidentally get some fluid on your paint job, its over.

2000 might be a lil slow with coming off u can use 1500 if u dont feel like doing 1200 i used 1200 by hand and u cant see no scratches. all u got to do is get it nice and dull white and then use the rubbing compound and itll come clear. then u wax it like ur car everytime u do ur car to keep it that way
