Trust me on this one.

Not even soap and water? There is some corrosion/dirt that really needs to be cleaned up on it. I guess I could very carefully spot clean it...
Even with the faded graphics, the shooter gauge looks 10x better.

Okay, it is time for some pictures. First up, some 'before' pictures.
As you can see, it is just overall grimy and nasty, with plenty of ball swirl and stress cracking. It did look worse before, but a few months ago I did use a magic eraser and cleaners on it in a few areas.
shardian:
These photos are after cleaning, magic eraser, and Novus 2 buffing. As you can see, some areas have major wear. The white plastic areas I can only do so much with. I suppose I could work them over again with the magic eraser, but the return wouldn't be worth it.
I also have several wear spots in the non painted wood areas. I want to build those back up with llaquer before clear coating. There is alot of minor wear spots, but the top pop bumper is the worst area.

Make sure you look into possible reactions between lacquer and whatever clear you use... RGP has too many horror stories about that to count.
