That will get them clean, but it will also take the shine away. The plastics will be a dull-looking, but in my opinion, dull white doesn't look all that bad.

A heat gun will bring the gloss back. :)

Purple power and a tooth brush is the best thing I have ever used for white plastic, Remember small circles.

After you clean it with that, Next time you have it in the sun, You better have some sun shades on!

I use either Purple Power or Super Clean with a tire brush. It does a nice job.
