I've been following this thread, trying to wrap my mind around the
concept of putting poly over cedar.
As to OPs basic problem- I'd try careful scraping with a razor blade in
one of those handle things, and then a good coat of wax (on side walls
only, of course.) OP can also get a can of spray paint in a matching
color, from a boat or RV shop that works on plastic toys. (As a kid, I
was able to match an obscure shade of tan on a boat side rail with no
problem. Patch vanished.)
But previous poster is right- unlikely visitors will notice or care, if
they can get past the shiny cedar.
