Detinting front lights
 
Noticed today that at some point the front lights have been very slightly tinted. One side is flaking a fair bit so want to get rid of the tint.

Whats the best way to do it without scratching or melting the plastic?

I have some of that stuff for doing the clear plastic of the lights ,cant remember the name but can get some out of the bottle if you are passing!!!

The light tinting kit that I used to tint my lights came with a bottle of accetate which is what nail varnish remover is made from.

Used gently it will do less damage than an abrasive polish.

White spirit would work but that will damage the plastic.
