Anyone have a good idea on how to remove paint overspray from sparkle eyebrows without destroying them? One of the bozo PO's masked the edge of the eyebrow but not the whole thing, so I have a clean edge against the body but overspray beyond where the tape was. Is there a solvent that won't attack the plastic? Sanding wrecks the finish. Tape pulled some off but not all. I've had the truck for a year and it didn't really bother me, but it looks stupid.
You might want to try some Goo-gone or Goof-off or other label adhesive remover. Like they say with any spot remover, test in an inconspicuous place first.
Believe it or not, I've also had luck with plain ol' WD-40 and some fine steel wool.
My wheel arches were looking so bad from years of UV fading, I just ended up taking them off the truck, lightly sanding, and actually painting them. I put on a couple coats of satin black and have been surprised how well they turned out and have held up for three years.
You can use a small screwdriver to punch the central rod through and then the rivet will come out. You can put them back in if you reset the rod so it sticks out the front of the rivet.
Try simple green and a soft brush. Spray it on and let it soak in for a a few min then spray another coat on and scrub it and rinse before it dries.
