I bought some Duster taillight lenses at the Nats that were all goobed up with some sort of black tar-like substance around the edges. Apparently someone in the past had tried to seal a trunk leak. I was able to get most of it off just by pulling it off but there is some left that is smeared on the lenses. I would like to know if anyone can recommend what I could use to clean it off that won't tarnish or otherwise harm the plastic lenses. Thanks. Some common paint thinner may help. After, I have found that common polishing compound works quite well on plastic lenses. I start with the polishing compound then use the plastic sealer in the Eastwood plastic polishing kit to finish.

Toothpaste is soft enough even to get lense polished.
Stock lenses won't be damaged by thiner or kerosene. Can't talk about repros. I'd try kerosene since won't evaporate inmediatly. Then finish the cleaning with toothpaste
