I removed some latex paint from my taillights with goo-gone and now theres some white stain on it.
It can be scratched off but its really really hard! and i dun wanna scratch my taillights.

Sounds like the white stuff is the plastic from the taillight that had a chemical reaction to either the paint, goo gone or both. Not sure you will be able to remove it unfortunately. Good Luck.

You didn't let C's Bimmer get his banana near your tailpipe did ya?

im thinking its that the latex paint isnt fully remvoed yet or something, i can remove the white stain!
but except i need to scratch it with my nails or rub really really hard, and its taking too long!

But i can remove it , ijust need a faster way.
