Default which lens tint?

Need some advice guys. Vht niteshades or rustoleum lens tint? I would like my tail lenses to blend well with my tux black but not sure I want them too shiny. I don't plan to go super dark, 2 maybe 3 coats max. Would like your opinions, any pics comparing the two would be greatly appreciated. I know there are other threads on lens tint I'm just concerned with the preference of the two and why. Thank you.

I used the night shade and it came out awesome. But also I didn't want the shiny finish. It all depends on the way you want your truck. I have my truck shiny black with flatt black accents all up to you. The rustolium just has a more shiny finish

Can they both be cleaned off if I don't like it or mess up?

I mean you can but then I'd get a bottle and not the spray can. But it's only 2 screws to take them out. You can take both them out in under 2 min
