I used goof off, its the kind that is a straight liquid like paint thinner. I tried paint thinner but it didnt work, then used goof off and it came off easy as hell.

brake cleaner works when its wet...dont know after its dry though...

goof off FTW, trust me. I didnt like the way they came out the first time and I had to strip it down and redo.

i know its a whole different post, but will that goof oof stuff work for a blue anodized intake pipe with black high temp paint on it?? i got a CAI from a friend. the blue under the high temp paint is beautiful, but i wanna take the paint off without harming the blue...

The goof off might end up damaging or taking the blue off as well, but try it, you can always paint it black again if anything goes bad

you can use sand paper. i would start with 300 grit then start my way up to 1000+ grit.

I have some small scratches on my tails, can I sand them out with 1000 grit? Is there a way to make them shiny and new again?

Yes. Start at 1000 and go up to 2000 if you can find it. Then use a buffer. Works great.

I used a company called Zaino its plastic magic cleaner and polisher. I used that after I sanded them with 2000 grip sand paper and then it shined it up pretty good imo. You have to go to the website if you want that stuff. I went a little too dark when I first did them didnt know how they would turn out. I got warned by a cop about them being too dark but I was pulled over for something else.
