Default Dripped Rubbing Alcohol On My Tail Lights.

This sux. I was trying to get the goo off from the dealership decal, and some of the rubbbing alcohol dripped onto my tail lights. It stained them white in the places it dripped! How the hizzel do I get it to go away.

btw- the residue from the decal is still there too!

You can buy automotive plastic polish at kragen or pep boys. and use goo gone to get off sticker residue.

Gotta be really careful with some "rubbing alcohol."

I recently bought a bottle that instead of being just isopropyl alcohol and water had ACETONE in it - totally messed up any plastics it touched. Read those labels carefully!
