Thumbs down Did Niteshade on lights but got a little overspray. What to use to remove? Pic inside

I did the VHT nite shade on my car yesterday. I got a little overspray drip from my cheap *** masking tape. What do I use to remove this? Thanks

Well for starters, you should have taken the marker light out when you painted it. It comes out easily. To remove the VHT, I would take the lens out and then try using a clay bar on it. If that doesn't work, you can buy some grease/wax remover from an auto parts store and just wipe it on the paint. It won't hurt the paint, but removes stuff like that from it.

Dude always take pieces like that off the car to paint them...

But anyways, use a clay bar to take the overspray off. You'll be good to go!

if the clay doesn't work they make a graffiti remover that is clearcoat safe. and if THAT doesn't work wet sanding for a final resort
