Thank you in advance. BZ

    I used PigSpit (original) on mine and they looked great. But thats only because I had some and knew what it could do for vinyl.

    I am sure others have suggestions for more conventional sources.

    It's plastic, Windex works well.

    If there's wax build-up and embedded dirt, Fantastic or 409. If it's really filthy, Purple Power does the trick. Do a final cleaning with real Windex. After that, keep the wife and the Pledge away from them.

    WIndex and other suggestions will do a great job cleaning them.

    What I found was my black had started to go toward grey and looked dull.

    Pigspit gave it back a deep black luster. I guess that would be more restoring than cleaning.
