Recently purchased a 2006 XJ8 that had some old, brittle protective vinyl on the headlamps which really was past its sell by date. See attached before and after pictures. The whole job took a little over 30 mins a lens which was a total of around 2.5-ish hrs. While cleaning I made a video showing the process I used for clean up using steam, mineral spirits and a hand drill for polishing.
Hope it will help someone in the future with a similar situation.
