I got my tail lights smoked with spray. My car is leased. Is it possible to remove the spray? Thanks

Try rubbing alcohol. I know the spray that I use can be removed with rubbing alcohol.

If nothing, then try taking the lights out and using paint stripper.

Depends on the spray but mine came off by putting a tape over the tinted part and ripping it off

If it's the VHT Nightshadez, try using the dupli-color lacquer thinner. Or any type of cleaner wax with some elbow grease put into it. i removed it pretty easy from my headlights.

Be careful with strong solvents on plastic. Test a small corner area first. You probably will need to run over the lens with a polisher.

Certain strong solvents can fuck up the plastic in no time.

Find out what kind of spray was used. If it was automotive paint and they were done proper it will not come off with chemicals. Paint stripper will ruin the plastic, I would be hesitant to try anything until you find out what was used.
