Acetone eats into the plastic. We use it at work to clean plastic residue from our injection molds.

Acetone is also the main ingredient in nail polish remover. Don't get it on the paint!!

I wish I had gone with 285's. Saw a truck in the parking lot with them and it looked good and I doubt it rubs.

Hey can you get acetone anywhere and how did you go about cleaning them did you just wipe them or did you soak them? Can you use the nail polish remover since it has it in it. Did you have to repaint anypart of it when you were done. sorry for all the questions at once but thanks for any info on what you did.

Thanks, Michael

Acetone is available at any H & S hardware store, Home Depot and any other hardware/home improvement store. It is in the section with the mineral spirits and paint thinner.

Tape off your emblem like your going to paint it........then use a paper towel and q tips and rub it off.....takes a little time to do a good job
