You really have to look at this UV coating just like you would the clearcoat on your paint. If it is physically damaged, as in cracked or scratched, you have to remove the coating down below the defect. Then you can restore it.

In our case, I don't think you can just go out and buy this UV coating persay, but the clear plastic products mentioned do add some water and UV protection. I am not sure at what level, but I do know it adds some.




So do I just sand away until it clears up? I definitely don't have hazing and it clearly looks like spiderwebbing. If the UV coating gets completely sanded off, is the only problem going to be the headlights hazing a lot faster, or could there be more damage than hazing?
