I just had my cluster lens replaced as well. Luckily I was having my dash cover replaced under warranty (it was peeling up) so for them to replace the lens was about $105, part included.
FYI 303 aerospace protectant was the culprit for me, some drops got on the lens when i was cleaning the interior and it looks like they had etched into the plastic. Keep that stuff (and any protectant/cleaner) away from your lens.

I think you can polish it out! Try using some Meguiar's!
I would try Plastx: Meguiar's Direct PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish <-Made just for Clear plastics!
Also a great rubbing compound like Meguiar's Ultimate works good on haze on plastic too: Meguiar's Direct Ultimate Compound
Use with microfiber cloth to polish and wipe/clean up.
If you do use the compound, use plastx after since it has oils like a wax that specifically protect your plastic. You may need to buff at it for awhile.

I don't know why they used the most POS plastic on that piece. I've only touched mine with microfiber, and it still gets scratched.
Also, they really should angle it toward the driver instead of away (like BMW does). It reduces glare and our ability to see random scratches/junk that get onto the plastic.
If I ever get around to replacing it, I'm going to make sure to get a big-a$$ screen protector/overlay to put on it.

g37xs coupe gauge cluster lens moisture fog
Hi guys, i m new to this forum. I have a weird problem. while i m cleaning my seats in G37 using leather swipes, i also cleaned the plastic glass that's on the speedometer. a week later it left a very strong annoying stains on the plastic.(it exactly looks as if there are water bubbles inside) its very frustrating to see that plastic with those stains. I went to the infiniti dealer to have it replaced but they want 350$ to change that little plastic thing. can any one suggest me an idea to get rid of those stains. any input will be appreciated.
