This what yours look like

Sounds like hazy plastic. Plastix will work but it will take forever. Start by wet sanding with 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper. Work your way through 2500 grit. Then a couple of applications of Plastix should clear everything up.

Ya i will try to post some pics, wont the sand paper make marks on the plastic

Not unless you do it correctly. Once I had to remove a big scratch from an aircraft window. Used like 6 different sandpaper grits and a buffer.

Easy fix that costs $15 in supplies.... i will do it for you if you're local.

EDIT: but you're not so i will tell you how to do it later i guess.
