2000 grid sandpaper
Wet sand in back and forth direction no circle motion till all is removed use plenty of water, water spray btle works best
Dry it off after use wax and best to use waxing buffer if possible or elbow grease, wipe clean and repeat with wax sealer.
Your light will look new and it takes about 30 min total.

I don't think I can use a wax/sealer underneath the Xpel stuff. I'm under the impression it needs to be a bare (painted) surface.

I could sand it down myself and reclear it... anyone have any suggestions on paint that will work? Although the cars already going to be in the shop for paint work so I'm inclined just to have them do it and avoid the hassle. I've got a newborn so time comes at a real premium at the moment....
