Headlight lens restoration

Removed my headlights last week (whilst renewing the bonnet release cables and servicing the catches on the ZT-T), used a restoration kit i bought from eBay whilst they were removed, got a nice clear finish then applied the sealer following the instructions to the letter .
Happy with the results I refitted the headlamps and all was fine until today when it rained, now the sealant has gone opaque and is very sticky to the touch

Does anyone have suggestions as to method of removing said 'sealant' and recommendations for a quality restoration kit to rectify the issue.
P.S, I looked at the traders feedback on ebay and although it shows 99.8% positive feedback, he has several negatives complaining about the sealant in his kits 'pure superglue' was one description! (Should have looked harder before purchasing, fooled by his apparently good feedback).
Many thanks, Paul.
