Default NEED HELP. Anyone used a clay bar??

I used a clay bar to clean my 98 T/A today, and some of the residue got on the plastic casing over the rear tail lights, and now no matter how much i wash it or anything, it's like there is a whitish substance, or stain over the taillights now, how do i get it off, please help im not sure what it is or how to get it off, ive tried glass cleaner, armorall, wax, haze and scratch remover, what do i do to get it off?!

Rubbing alcohol should work, or you can re-lube the area and clay it and it should come off.

i had to wax the car anyway, and i used zymol and i waxed over the taillights and alot of it ended up coming off, some of it's still there, but it looks better, maybe it was just getting dark and i was getting tired of staring at it lol, but anyway, go figure wax would help
