<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">i guess it's more like a haze. i'll try another picture of it. i didn't spill anything on it. it's been sitting in a drawer away from everything. what's this 3M polishing kit you are talking about? is it the one you use to get the milky look off head lights? one of my buddies told me about something like that a couple of years ago to use on my truck for that reason. i couldn't remember what it was called. i'll see if i can find one and give that a shot, cuz i really don't like painting them. i painted the canopy on my Messerschmitt solid cuz i jacked it up painting the framing. NEVER AGAIN. though it doesn't have a pilot, i still don't like it. thanks for the 3M idea. holy crap, i thinkthe picsworked.</span>
