That milky haze may be fixable.

That's very typical for shellack based coatings that get wet. The shellac absorbs moisture and gets cloudy like that.

While this advice is about fixing it on furniture, the bit about brushing on some alcohol might work. It would probably redissolve the glosscoat, allowing it to dry clear again.

I would consider it altered, as the glosscoat was essentially redistributed, but it sort of already is.
