RUBBING, or POLISHING COMPOUND. Small amount on a rag and rub rub...20 seconds it's gone.

Then 1 week later my blackouts were stolen off the car.

I was going to start a thread about this but I figure I'll ask here first. Do the tail light blackouts make it real hard to see the brake lights during the day? I wanted to get some blackouts but I have no desire to get rear ended in the middle of the day

I went ahead and only did the front turn signals.

I dont really like how they look on the back brakes or the headlights.

I wish I would have just did it right the first time and nite shaded them, the covers look good at night but not smooth, They gave my tails dimples and now im going to buy new ones so I can nite shade them.
