Wetsand and buff. That's just a suggestion, I've never done it before but it sounds like it could work :)

Think i could just buff it out? I don't think i would feel comfortable wet sanding, but if i did what size grit would you recommend? and just some soapy water. I think some people use mineral spirits or paint thinner when they do it don't they?

I'd try 1500 and then 2000 grit. Worse comes to worse, you can always pick up another one from LMCtruck.

ld just buy a new one...by the time you pay for materials to try and clear it up and it turns out not quite what you want will be buying new one anyway...could always try the stuff they use to clean up headlights

orrrrrrrr..hit local wrecker and keep it simple
