Help with Tail Light Fogginess?

Hi all! New Redline owner here with a rear tail light that has a strange fogginess to it. Although it appears to be some sort of waxiness on the exterior of the the light, it does not come off with soap/water nor does it come off with a solvent based remover. Does anyone have any suggestions or how I might be able to check/clean inside the tail light? The light itself works - I just want a perfect appearance to it.

UPDATE: I added 4 more photos in the sun. The second photo is the left taillight which has no issue. The following photos are the oddly damaged right taillight. Does it appear to be inside or outside?

Hi all! New Redline owner here with a rear tail light that has a strange fogginess to it.
That looks like the same kind of (sun) damage I recently cleaned up on (the outside of) my headlight lenses. No guarantees but I'm wondering if the tail light lenses could be restored using the same kind of kit? It might be worth a try, just cleaning up one small section to see if it works.
What type of kit did you use?
I used an older Meguiar's kit similar to this one Robot or human?
The actual kit I used is, apparently, no longer available.
All the kits use the same concept. You wet sand the lens using a fine grit sandpaper then do the same with an ultra fine grit and then you use a polish which is even finer grit. Finally you apply a UV blocker.
