It's also great to have microfiber towels in abundance for buffing, wiping, cleaning and drying:

If there are plastics that have yellowed or gone dingy, and dish soap won't restore them, you can use this peroxide creme developer from Sally Beauty, and some UV light (sun works great!) to clean them up. Apply a thin coat with a brush, set in the sun or under a UV lamp, and check every 40 minutes. Don't let the creme dry out or you'll get nasty streaking.
