[Johnson] Cleanup suggestions?

Tony:
After cleaning up an otherwise great Ranger 2, I did the following to get the grim out:
-For tobacco stains/smoke and oils, I used a purple degreaser (found in auto supply stores). It is purple in color and all the years of accumulated crud will literally fall off after a good soaking or spray.
-To clean the innards of your treasure, use canned compressed ai (if you don't have a compressor). The large cleaning "Q-tips" dipped in alcohol is great for cleaning around corners, crevices, etc
-Need to clean up the front panel? Meguiar's fine polish (for automobiles) is great.
Don't forget a cleaning with Deoxit D-5 on your switches.

-Touch up? I think R and R is still around

Good Morning, fellow Johnson enthusiasts.

With winter not far around the corner and more time for 
indoor activities, I have some "boatanchors" that will
receive some long overdue "spiffing" up.

I am new to this list so if this subject has been covered
repeatedly, I apologize. Having said that, I would be
interested in knowing any "clean up" tips from the experts.
What do you use and how do you use whatever it is to clean up
the normal accumulated "grit/grime/nicotine/body oils,
etc?" Do you do anything to the surface after cleaning,
like light wax or silicon or? Is there a source for "touch
up paint" to match the Johnson line? I'm sure I have other
questions but with only 2 cups of coffee in my system so far,
I can't remember what they were!

Thanks in advance for you most valuable advice and your time.
