What's the best way to shine up a control panel. I have a nice Pac Man but the cp is dull. No wear spots or anything so really doesn't warrent a new cpo. What do you guys use to give them a little extra shine?
TIA

I personally don't like Armor All. Too greasy, makes the plastic LOOK good but not necessarily feel good. I've heard it eats off the top layer of plastic, not sure about Lexan.
I use FW1, it gets the job done fast, while cleaning and polishing at the same time.

Heck, I use it on paper and it works (just don't use it on Atari 2600 Silver labels!). I have tried it on everything but vinyl so far.
It sometimes gets stuck in small crevices since it's like a foam that doesn't pop, I use some Simple Green, water, or Windex to get it out but I let the other polish dry first not to interrupt the process. It creates a two-toned effect if you do it too early.
Armor All has never damaged anything I have used it on

Personally, I like the greasiness.

Your not putting simple green on plastic are you? The stuff is very strong and harsh on things. I race R/C cars and use simple green on my tires to soften them up. If you do not clean it off good it will take a layer of rubber off. I have also watched go kart racers use it on there tires. We were on the track right after them and when the car came off the track the tires were melting from all the simple green they used.
