meguiar's plastic polish.

polish away with a nice clean microfiber towel.

if it doesn't come out, then it's the inside.

if the plastic polish has no effect, its on the inside which means you have either a small crack somewhere or a bad seal.

If it does have an effect but you are not satisifed, recommend take it to a detailing or body shop and have them buff it out.

I had a crack in my passenger side from a very slight fender bender. I pulled the lens off (after heating), got the water out, wiped down the inside of the lens and sealed the crack from the inside with RTV and it worked great.

I am a professional detailer - I'll chime in.

When I bought my Z a few months ago I noticed this too. I too used the Meguiars plastic polish, however being the neat-freak I am, and how careful I can be, I used a power polisher.

I don't recommend using one because an inexperienced person can burn a hole right through. I used a 3000 grit polish with a 100% lamb wool pad then a resin-based glaze with a 9000 grit foam pad to finish it off.

Lens look 100%. I also did this the the dulled tail lights.
