Cloudy gauge cluster>!>!>!>!>!>

I purchased this car last month and noticed this immediately!

I finally got around to messing with it and trying to find out what it is...

What is this...at first i thought it was condensation on the inside...but when i took it apart i noticed it was on the outside and would not come off.
I tried goo gone, scratch remover, windex, clay bar, eveything. It wont come off. Its not bad during the day but at night with the gauge cluster lite up its annoying!

Any other suggestions on what this might be and how i can get rid of it? Or do i need to replace the plastic cover???

ionno, looks like previous owner messed it up with some chemicals. I'd just get a new one, since you already have it out anyway.

I purchased my G about 2 months ago and noticed I have the same issue. I don't know what the previous owner did but nothing seems to work. Let me know if you find a solution

+1 on using PlastX by Meguiar's. Looks like oxidation from the pictures and PlastX should take that right off

I had this same problem on mine. Plastix and a powerball took care of it no problem. Just make sure to take the clear plastic cover off first to buff it out. First time I tried to do the whole cluster...not so good. PM me if you have any other questions.
