    I have a 2005 Grand Prix. The car only has 68,000 miles on it, but this probably actually started around 60,000 miles. Almost like you would see clearcoat peeling on paint. Very thin and crispy. You can chip it away with your fingernail. Under that, the lens is very dull.

    What's the best way to restore these? I would assume I would have to remove all of the coating, whatever it is. And then sand/polish. Would they need to be recoated?
