Default Buff out windshield?

Hey guys, my bike's windshield has some sort of a dull look towards the top of it. Looks as if someone took off a sticker and then used some sort of product to get it off which left it looking like sh@t. Anyone know of any product that's good for buffing this stuff out? I like the windshield and think I want to keep it. Sorry I don't have a better pic, but you can kinda see here:

A real fine car polish could do the trick. Otherwise there are plastic cleaners and polishers. Meguiars makes them.

You can use a light cut with a electric polisher, and after that throw on some wax and she's all good. I did this to mine and it came out real good. I had some real fine scratches and marks on mine though I dont know about yours. You might be able to get away with just polishing it.

There was an ugly scratch on OD's windscreen and I buffed it out with McGuires....it worked like a charm.
