I've got an undercover tonneau on my taco.

The previous owner must have used something he shouldn't have on the undercover and ever since I bought it, it's got streaks all over it.

what's the best way to remove the streaks, and not just cover them up?

I'll get pics sometime this weekend if I can.

The streaks have that kind of rainbow appearance that leaked oil has-- if that makes any sense at all.

It's kind of hard to photograph, but here's the best picture I could get.
