Default Water marks on dash display

Somehow I managed to "etch" some watermarks on my spedometer plastic display lens and oil pod plastic display lens. I think it was either from not wiping off some windex or dashboard cleaner. Can anyone provide some suggestions on what might be able to clean this. Thanks in advance for the help!!

It could be hard water spots, in that case, vinegar will remove them. If you got some type of solvent on the plastic lenses, that wil ruin them. You might be able to use a plastic polish to buff out the bad spots. That works great on headlight covers but in the restricted space of the gauges, it's going to be tough.

Try using Invisible Glass. I use it on all glass and clear plastic. It removes alot of stuff that regular windex will not (road grime, film, etc).
