Hi Nick,
first thing you can try is to polish the backside plastic shell with
cotton wool you normally use for car polishing. Try some polish for
old car laquer. This works pretty good concerning little scratches. 
For major scratches ask your local varnisher (honestly) ;-)
For the rubber (trigger) surface ordinary rubber cleaner is a good
choice, if you have heavy dirt, try some liquid plastic cleaner, this
dissolves the outer dirty layer of the rubber surface including stick
marks. If we are talking about SDS 5 pads: Use the car polish
mentioned above also for the trigger surface. That makes the acrylic
surface like new (after hours...)
Good luck
Wolfgang
