Headlamp cleaning

Hey all, Im in the process of preparing my van for respray, after removing the headlights I noticed some spotting on the reflective surface. Any advice on cleaning this without scratching it?
Also how do I remove this piece from inside the casing?
it seems to only be held by the adjusting screws, I dont want to force anything and break it.
