Angry Any one else have gauge marks

My 05 has these marks behind the plastic gauge lens. Very noticeable especially when you are on max lighting. Almost like clouding. Any one else have this issue? Any fixes known?

Hey thanks for info! It drives me crazy seeing them. Not sure if it from sploppy factory work or from gases formed in the summer heat.

I have smudge on the tachometer cover. I will have the dealer take a look at next service.
