I'm sure the good old baby oil treatment works on the door handles as well: Cruise control buttons and demist buttons are notorious for going white like this.
I'm off to bed now, need my beauty sL33p...  :

Any oil just rubs off in a week. |

Depends which wreckers you goto, some actually take care of their parts, but you can also go on eBay, there's usually someone wrecking their E-series for cash.
