Headlight covering

Has anyone got a recommendation on how to remove the clear covering on my headlights?

There are a million different kits out there which will enable you to sand off the old coating and apply new. Don’t do one without the other.

There are many headlight restoration kits available . I like the one from Cerakote I purchased mine from Walmart . Follow the instructions and your headlights will be crystal clear . The key is the wet sanding , get the lenses glass smooth and then apply the final finish which is in the kit . A simple wipe on finish .
