Thanks for all the help guys. Gasoline worked great and turned my orange microfiber towel black. Just got back from getting the car re-inspected and it passed. Not sure now if I'll put the VHT back on, or just leave them as is. I really liked the blacked out look, as it went well with the rest of what I've done to the car.

Maybe instead of blacked out just a tint would be a good happy medium? Might still pass inspection when only lightly tinted also (not sure on that, no inspections here in OH).

I envy your state. Inspections just plain suck ***.

And yeah, I'm not going near as dark as I did before.

From my experience, my tail lights were my only VHT project that turned out perfect! (IMO) No flaws, and a nice thick coat of clear. Just a smidge dark for my taste.. Tried it again on a couple other things and even after cleaning the lens, it was impossible to get it to cooperate. Cracks and just looked like ****. Tried it on my 4 wheeler and that didn't go over very well.
