The stupid coating on my glasses is rubbing off, how do I just remove it entirely? Acetone maybe?

Just an FYI, temperatures in a car in direct sunlight can exceed 165F. Very quickly.
I know this because I left a glass thermometer under my seat for an hour one summer. When I came back to grab it, the glass has burst (max on the scale was 165F).
I have no idea about lens coating changes over time and their heat tolerance, but the insides of cars can be fucking awful.
That's 74 degrees Celsius for the rest of the world
Oh I agree it can be a friggin' furnace. My complaint was that I'd never had that happen before so why is it happening now? And if I can't keep my driving glasses in my vehicle, where am I supposed to keep them? Maybe keep them at my desk just in case my monitor suddenly gets really far away?
Could have something to do with global warming.
I'm sure that's the case for a lot of people, however my particular locations has actually been getting more temperate -- cooler in the Summer and warmer in the Winter. I mean it's not by much, but we're lucky to not be getting these massive heat waves the rest of the country has been seeing.
New coating that is better or cheaper or harder but worse with temperature. Or maybe some new blue light filter. Or the old coating had lead in it or something lol.
I saw a guy on YouTube a few years ago, heat water in the car to temperatures hot enough to brew coffee, which he then went ahead and did. It was a cool video. I doubt I'll be able to, but I'll try to find it. Anyway, yeah, cars are super hot in the sun.
Edit: I found it, searching for 'brew coffee in your car', so simple haha. Holy crap! 6 years! He hasn't posted anything in a long time. Hope he's ok...
TIL what happens when the thermometer maxes out
