It looks like a paint deposit left on the surface...is that possible? If so, I'd try to find a way to remove it with a solvent like Goof Off or something similar. Test it in an inconspicuous place under the lip to make sure that it doesn't aggressively attack the plastic. If that doesn't work, a polishing compound would probably remove it, but you'll probably need a light touch either way to avoid leaving a shiny spot on the textured plastic.
