Plastic bumper oxidation V70-XC70 1998

My gray plastic bumper and trim on my 98 XC has developed a white haze on it. I have tried Klass and Mother's Back to Black. Neither of those products worked. Has this occured to anyone else, and have you had luck with other products or techniques?
Thanks,
Guy

    Believe it or not, I've read that rubbing peanut butter on the moulding works. It's a long lasting fix. I've never actually tried it becasue my mounding is in good shape. Heat it up in the microwave for a min then apply to inconspicuous location to test. Let us know what happens.
