buy some plastic polish. you can find the stuff at any auto zone or car care place. just rub it on and rub it off. should take care of it.

still very happy with results from blue magic plastic and plexiglass cleaner/polish.

their metal polish is awesome too, completely restored the shine of my exhaust, then removed hard water stains from my sink faucet/handles.
