Hi, Jeff. For cleaning I used Super Clean concentrate in a spray bottle mixed 4:1 with distilled water. Super Clean is available premixed or the concentrate is in a gallon jug. The concentrate is very economical.

I sprayed the painted and plastic surfaces with distilled water, then Super Clean mix and agitated the dirt with a boar's bristle brush, followed by a rinse with more distilled water. Some really dirty surfaces got a light scrubbing with a blue non-scratch Scotchbrite pad or a toothbrush. Suspension surfaces were scrubbed with a small wire-bristle brush, followed by a once-over with Mother's Metal Polish.

For a little "pop" after cleaning I used Stoner's Trim Shine from an aerosol can. It's safe for all surfaces and I find it easier to work with than the spray bottle that's also available. Wipe off any excess with a microfiber towel. Trim Shine is water based and doesn't leave sticky residue. The finish isn't high-gloss, it just looks rich and new.
