Default How-to remove paint from ***** (With sugar paper)

So my headlight **** was wearing off, and I figured I would just finish the job. I guess you could use sandpaper, but that might scratch the **** up too much. Some kind of paint remover would probably work, but I didn't have any handy. In comes the sugar paper.

I just dumped some sugar on the table (you don't need that much, I think I was just having a Scarface moment.) Get some scotch tape, and stick it in the sugar.

Gently rub out the paint, and you're done!

(Not the best mod, but I just got my truck, and I had to do something!

Or you could simply wipe it with some pressure using a rag and foaming bathroom cleaner or alcohol. I've done this many a time by accident when detailing cars...but I've never know of anyone wanting these results lol. This also prevents from any mild scratching that the sugar probably did.
You could also benefit from using the brush attachment on a vacuum to get out that mystery gunk from the crevice below the ****...not too appealing.

Save your old toothbrush next time you get a new one and throw it in the detail bag. They're perfect for cleaning the little crevices Lil around the headlight ****. Also make a good gun cleaning tool.

Oof, this is an old one haha. I only wanted to take that paint off 'cause it was already half gone anyway. No scratches from the sugar, that's why I used it.

I detailed the truck shortly after this, but it needs to be done again... I probably need a new toothbrush anyway. Thanks
