That sounds good as anything. I've used various polishes, steel wool,
Lemon Pledge, polishing compound, etc. and they all work...for
awhile. KLR plastic just loves to oxidize and there doesn't seem to
be a permanent solution. I've got Line-X in my truck, but why add
weight to your KLR plastics with something that's going to be just as
ugly (it traps dirt real well) and is harder to clean?
