Hi Nick:

Try removing the front panel and cleaning it thoroughly with WD-40.  WD-40
will remove grease and nicotine from equipment, without damaging the
plastic.  It will even restore the luster to black and dark gray plastic
that has become discolored with age and UV exposure from sun light over the
years.

WD-40 will also restore the luster to painted equipment cabinets that have
become discolored with age, nicotine, and dirt, and it is great for cleaning
wrinkled finishes.

73,

Woody
