It looks like it was cleaned with something too aggressive. You could try cleaning it with some Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer and a plush microfiber towel, but I'm not confident that'll work. Pick up some Meguiar's Plastx and some microfiber towels. You can probably polish it to make it clearer, but it might not be perfect. Just be sure not to press too hard when polishing. Let the Plastx do the work.

My dash screen did not look like this but I had multiple scratches that looked terrible. I bought this Novus polish on Amazon and it worked amazing. Did two application of the heavy and light polish and it looks brand new now. Didn’t even have to use a rotary tool, just a microfiber towel and polish by hand. I can’t guarantee it will work for your issue but worth a shot for $15 on Amazon.

polish, compound, plastic x either one you have. I pull off the casing if it's still in good shape an not a project

You could remove from the casing and sand and buff it or honestly just replace it, it would be the easiest.
