Al, good old liquid soap and hot water and a tooth brush will do wonders then Maguires plastic polish on the outside surface for light scratches, works for me on driver stuff.

Use Meguiar's plastic polish on a power buffing wheel. Go slow gradually increasing the pressure if necessary and they will turn out perfect. Doing them by hand is a first good step but is not usually agressive enough if they are scratched or dull. Hold them firmly as you work them into the buffing wheel and keep lots of liquid on them. When done, polish by hand.

I will add one more, I use maguires #6 cut/polish wax on a buffer on stubborn stuff, works well, it has just enough cut in it to really polish well, i have brought back some really awful looking stuff that way as well.
