Default Removing Nightshades?

Hey guys. It's been a while since I've been on here, been really busy with school and work recently. Just have a quick question.

When I tinted my tails, I waited too long to put on the clearcoat, and they ended up coming out flat/matte. I thought I remember reading that brake cleaner can be used to take all of of it off so I can re-do them? Any suggestions?

Total prep. used for autobody cleaning prior to painting. It worked for my test projects but they were only setting up over night and not curing in the sun for months. i wouldn't use brake cleaner is you value your headlights. Certainly keep that stuff away from your paint.

i would just sand them down in stages all the way down to 2000 grit wet, then just spray them again

you can use rubbing alcohol and a buffer... thats what i used when i did mine the first time i f***ed 'em up. just make sure you hella clean them after your done buffing and your ready to start painting again.
