John,
Do a search on Lugnet for “clean” or “cleaning” - I think there may even be
something in the Guide on it.
As far as getting them “shiny” again, that’s tougher, as the dulling of the
finish is more due to minute scratches than it is to dirt. One trick I
haven’t tried yet, but intend to, would be to dip Lego elements in Future
floor polish. Scale modelers use Future as a glossy clear-coat and to give
transparent plastic parts a new shine. I just don’t know how it holds up to
handling, or how it affects the mating of the parts. You would be limited in
the quantity you could do at a time, as Future takes a while to dry and the
parts must be protected from dust, and elevated so they don’t stick to whatever
they’re resting on.
If you’re building a model for display, you could airbrush Future on the whole
thing once built, and just coat the visible surfaces.
Other than that, I think you’re left to Brasso or Novus plastic polish to
re-shine your parts.
