Dick,


I have had some success using ammonia on a Q tip swab.  Sometimes I cannot get what I assume is plastic "smoke" off near the edges with this method, but I haven't found anything else that works.

I believe the foggying is heat related. You could polish then car headlight polish, a real pain. I better way would be to re-melt the plastic using a brush and some plastic cement. This will disolve the surface and when it solidifies it will be cleared. Sometimes Acetone will do the trick. This all depends on 5he type of plastic it is.
