Mr Clean (Lemon/yellow household cleaner, Flash liquid) does an amazing job on plastic parts, can get a heck of a lot of "grub" off.

Just an FYI, but some of you might want to look into trying vinyl dye. (Especially if you're spray paint challenged, like myself.) There are quite a few computer related guides on the net, but basically it soaks into the pores of the plastic, and leaves a more factory-like finish. There's a company called parasolinc that sells a German product called Varikote, which is supposed to be a very high-quality dye. (I have an A600 case that's getting a coat of "kobaltblau")

Actually now you come to mention it, fabric dyes work on some of these plastic parts. You leave 'em in a hot water bucket of it overnight and it comes out dyed. Okay for funky colors, might be a bit paler than it would on fabrics, i.e. if you want a bright red, go for a darker shade, coz it might look pink otherwise. Won't get anything back to white of course.
