[sdiy] cosmetic cleaning of synth surface

[Florian Anwander]

Hi,

I recently picked a Roland System 100 Model 101 and 102. Basically both 
in a good state; some switches and pots will need care, but I am used to 
do this. What I never did until now is a basic cleaning of the housing 
of such an old synth. The synths are optically without a scratch, but 
have the dirt of 30 years on them.

I think normal sponges for dishes are not a good thing for cleaning a 30 
years old synth surface.

I got one hint, that laying the housing some hours it in water with 
cleaner tabs for dental protheses should clean the typical dust and 
dirt, but will not touch the plastic and the surface paintwork.

Do you have any experiences with this method? Or how do you clean stuff 
like this?
