Hey Bambam.
It's a judgemental call. You really only have to remove all of the original clear, if it has completely failed as with extensive yellowing, cracking, and flaking.
In your case, I'd recommend sanding all of the lens thoroughly and see how the clear reacts. If the flaking is minimal and the remaining clear seems strong while sanding; then you're probably good to move on to applying the new clear. Just finish up with 600 grit or so for good adhesion.
If you have a spray gun, I'd get some quality clear and go that route. Otherwise, I've had pretty good luck with Eastwoods 2k DuraSpray in a can for headlight restoration.
God Bless,
Ralph
