The only way to remove this condition is to once again apply the sequence of abrasive buffing to this area. It will take some work but you should be able to bring it back to look like the remainder of the lens. You could start out by using a more coarse grit abrasive in these 2 spots. This will initially remove more material, then you will need to gradually apply increasingly finer grit abrasives to bring back the clarity.
I think you're right. The detail shop probably did that. It's not as bad as it could have been. That, I am thankful for. I believe I will leave well enough alone for right now. If I need to approach this issue again I might go further in to those areas. Thanks!
