Have you tried letting it sit in there for 5-10 minutes or so? Someone else posted up saying Bleach worked.
Only thing I can think of is how the car was cared for over the years. Maybe it was garaged for most of it’s life. The sun tends to have effects on things, so maybe the super clean stuff works better on cars that have sat outside most of their life.
Yea i let it sit overnight… well… they are white now except for the corners… any tips on getting the corners white?
Put some more solution in them, and leave the lights tilted up, so the solution is at the corner of the light, just enough to “work” on the pink lines. So it’s not soaking on the white lines. See if that works.
Have you tried bleach?
I tried leaving em titled up like that… overnight… nothing… still pinkish… whatever i just put in new gaskets and called it a day. I broke the back 2 panels… a bunch of other shit… one of my bulbs burnt out… and i found rust on my car… fuck what a bunch of bullshit.
mine took off some of the white on one of the tails
Before
After, notice how it is clearer in that blob part. It actually took off the white lines, so i’m gonna do it again to see if i can get it completely clear. I did pour boiling water in there, that might have something to do with it
worked like a charm for my car but now i have a bad condensation leak in my left tail light. i thought it might of been the seal around it but i replaced it and it is still doing it. n e ideas of how to fix it?
I am a good example of this problem…
My DB1 was garaged whenever it was parked at home (from 1st owner to the owner before me), so the sun didnt fade the paint, interior or do anything to the tail lights… When i went to super clean them they were stubborn 10 minutes of slushing with only afew white spots that 10 minutes turned into 30… then i tried boiling water which then caused bigger cracks in the tail lights (i dropped them walking in the house, causing cracks that werent badly noticeable, until i boiled water)… 2 hours later half the tail light was white while there was still alot of pink… i gave up and ended up spraying the tail lights with tint to cover them up…
Now i got a set of new tail lights, castrol’d them and they came out perfect… so the longer the car sat in the sun over the years the better for the tail lights… iv seen tail lights turn them white without castrol just pure in the sun action 
Well when I did mine, I though it might have an affect on the sealing of the light and let condensation in. So after I was all done with them I filled the gap between the lense and housing with some clear silicone.
I think the temperature is key. I have done castrol as well as bleach. But I poured in scalding hot boiling water and it tore the white straight out. I had quite a few stubborn spots in the lights. I’m trying to get the lights all the same color now as the boiling water ripped out most of the white in the lines.
I have a theory that eventually the lines may be totally ripped out, giving the same effect as if you had seperated the lights and sanded them. I say this becuase I have gone from pink to white to light grey to dark grey. If you sand normally it goes from pink to white to black/grey to totally clear.
ahh, so you did the same thing as me
I WAS RIGHT!!
To an extent. If you let the castrol sit long enough it will loosen the lines. it is a bit off from my theory about how it would erode the lines as if you sanded them down. Well not too far off as it did still rip the white off.
I have had the castrol sitting for about 1 day and lines in one tail light were wavy (sp?). They have been totally seperated from the housing!! I’m sure if I swish some scalding hot water it will rip them out now. But I’m letting it soak in the corners for now.
Here’s mine, couldn’t find the Castrol stuff, so I picked up some Purple Power instead. Worked like a charm!! :rockon: :rockon:
do mine 
i just did it today, tried all kinds of stuff from simple green, to bleach, and even the castrol super clean. NONE OF THESE THINGS WORK. i tried lettin it sit, poured boiling water, it only became light pink in some parts. this shit is bullshit i dont kno how u guys got this shit done, im just gonna get the half clear ones.
SUPER easy to do, dude, only pain in the ass is sitting there with a blow dryer trying to get all the moisture out (I’m kinda impatient,hehe). Seriously, the actual process takes literally about 30sec-1min of swishing the solution around the lights. :rockon:
NDN: Previous posts state that boiling water can actually be detrimental
when used in this process. Precisely why I followed the recommendation
of using hot water (non-boiling temp) when doing mine. Maybe your mixture was too diluted to affect the lines… :shrug:
I love this board. Useful stuff. And w/o further ado, my teg tails i did this weekend.
wishin and a washin,
clean!

thanks, g2ic!

thanks, tegtips
LOL this must be the new G2I craze huh?
heres mine!
Just an idea for those of you who couldn’t get the lines out. I tried this inside with no luck before moving outside to the garden hose. The hose worked in about 20 sec. My house has soft water but my hose is still hard water. I know that hard and soft water have different ph levels and therefore could react differently with the chemicals in the degreaser. Try turning off your water softeners and then do it. Just an idea, I might be crazy.
I just finished clearing a spare set of tails I picked up. Wow was it easy!
Now to let these dry overnight and then swap them out and clear up the extra set.
+1 for a great and simple mod!
