I've been having difficulty removing the clear protective coating from Chrysler/Jeep vehicles, which is the main reason any Chrysler vehicle has crappy looking headlamps. Working on a PT Cruiser right now, and getting the lens itself immaculate is cake (Using Meguiars Heavy Duty Headlight kit), it's getting the old protective coating off that's getting to me. Would using a strong solvent like acetone help me get that stuff off without damaging the integrity of the plastic that is the headlamp lens? Been going after it with 600 wetsand, and it's working, but it's just taking too long. Tempted to try lighter fluid, acetone, mineral spirits, even paint stripper (but can't screw up this customer vehicle). Curious to see if anyone else has any solutions for this to make the process simpler and faster.
If no one chimes in, on my next trip to the junkyard I'm gonna buy several old Chrysler headlights and try different things until I can determine what works the best with no damage to the lens. Yes, I will share my results.
