Removing white haze from w123 vinyl trim (not MBtex)

I wanted to clean up some tan trim bits that I just bought that had some scuffs. I started scrubbing with high concentration of Dawn and a medium bristle brush. No go. Then an 'orange power' spray cleaner.

The orange cleaner got the scuffs out but left a really bad white haze all over. I know from experience this is an issue with lots of cleaners on MB vinyl pieces.

I scrubbed it with Dawn and then tried 50/50 vinegar and water. A bit of improvement. I then wiped it with 102 Aerospace cleaner, a little better.

I got most of it off, but the areas where I scrubbed the hardest are still white.

Any suggestions to get the white off the vinyl?
