Try a product called Magic Eraser made by Proctor and Gamble under the Mr.
Clean line. It is truly amazing what it can do with very little physical
effort. Great for most anything that has a non-rough surface. Sold at most
hardware stores, Home Depot, etc. Makes stuff look like new again. Great for
counter tops, your fridge, and all those plastic dishes that you are about to
throw out because they look disgusting. This stuff will make most anything
look new again, all without scratching or harming the surface of what you are
cleaning.
Here is what Wikipedia says about it:
While the name-brand "Magic Eraser" is made by Mr. Clean (Procter & Gamble),
the foam itself is manufactured by BASF under the name BasotectB. and was
already a common product before this new use was discovered. Other companies
have also begun cutting it up and marketing it for its cleaning properties,
either under other names, like Coralite Ultimate Sponge, or as a generic
product. The foam also has other interesting properties: it has high sound
insulation efficiency and is also flame resistant. It's also very light:
replacing the traditional foam in aircraft seats, an Airbus A380 can lose 600
kilos.
And here is the link to the site if you are so inclined and interested:

Try it and report back what the results were. Make sure you take before and
after pics!

Subject: recondition red fan
Hi, all.
its cold here in Dallas but i drove the TR6 anyway. it was great!
anyway, its a 72 with a red fan. the fan has definitely seen better days. i'm
thinking clean it (maybe even run the dishwasher when the wife isn't looking),
and maybe some wet 2000 grit sandpaper. there's spray paint for plastic;
anyone gone that route? recommendations/cautions?
thanks!
looking forward to spring!!!!!!!!!!
