Is the cloudy part the upper and top Cap? Do you use Mary Kate On/Off hull cleaner? Is it original paint? The hot part of the drive will build up with hard water stains and get baked on On/Off will remove that with out scrubbing. You can rub with WD and in worst case polish with meguires #2 fine cut cleaner. A heavy compound will dull it. Mercury paint is very tough and will clean up nice. Phantom black rattle can works well too.

Sorry I have had success with the products I mentioned. I've seen marinas clean drives and bottoms with scotch brite pads. That will dull it out for sure. Sorry I can't help you more.

stains from outdrive
before i bought a drive shower i used clr from the hardware store,spray it on and wash it off with the hose,works great,the white stain is the calcuim in the water that the heat of the top of the drive boils out of the water and then stains the drive.

Ditto, Lime Away! I have used it on outboards and outdrives for 15 years. Use a small, soft dishwashing sponge. May take several times, but they will shine like new.
