Most guys use nail polish remover, but make sure its the kinda WITHOUT acetone (?) or whatever it is. They make it "with" and "without" something, im pretty sure its acetone.

I've used Mother's Brand Aluminum Polish to rub it out. This will also work in cases where the "New Bright" lettering has been applied to painted parts of the body.

I used the same stuff to remove the "Dale Earnhardt" signature from the rear window of my Silverado hard body. Worked like a charm.

A 7" grinder works much better and takes less time!

I sanded mine. My windshield had the New Bright on it and mud all over it from there new design with the muddy Jeep.

I took my 3" DA(Dual Action) sander and started with 600 grit sand paper, then stepped up 800, 1000, 1200, 1500 then 3000. Then I put a 3" white compound pad on the sander and used 3M rubbing compound, then finished it off with a black foam pad and foam pad polishing glaze. Came out awesome and looks brand new. I did the same to all of the light and turn signal lenses also to get the mud off of them.

I will try and get some pics up later of what it looks like now.
