Tip from a 'huge-amounts-of-black-used-beams-collector' = me:

1] At your garage or local tank-stop: buy Car-Interior Dashboard Spray.
2] Apply lightly on 'any' Lego and whipe with soft cloth ==>

a] color fresh again
b] visible disappearence of scratches, especially nice with the black ones.
c] your bricks 'feel' like they come right out of a new polybag!
d] nice smell too...        :-)

Additional Tip: do it only with the visible bricks on a model. It's quite a lot
of work!

Additional Tip for Jennifer: throw all your gearing-stuff on a kitchen towel,
spray as hell but don't wipe out! After drying gears run more smooth and silent.

Happy finishing touch, regards,
Klaas H. Meijaard
