I was stationed in Ft Polk, LA for 3 years. An easier way to do this is to use a wet "bounce" dryer sheet. A local told me about it. It works great.

I've always used Novus Plastic Polish #1 (Clean & Shine) and a soft cloth. I'll use that stuff pretty much anywhere they stick on the bike, but found it's best to clean them up right when you get home.
