All,

I just got an incredibly dirty Panasonic RF2200. What's the best
cleaning solution for both the plastic (early 80's era) body-case and
the clear plastic dial covers? I figure warm soapy water for the case,
but the clear plastic dial covers will probably fog up if any Ammonia-
based cleaner is used on them. What has everyone used with best
results?

I have a few 1960s-era radios with plastic cases that I was able to
nicely polish using automotive "cleaner wax," which you just might
have in your garage. It contains a fine abrasive to remove the thin,
oxidized layer of paint on your car.

You don't need much. Just place a few drops on a paper towel and rub
it on the cabinet. Then polish with a soft cloth. I've also used it
on clear plastic dials to remove scratches. It can be used to polish
brass escutcheons, too.
