I dearly hope I am not setting up the Mayor for a few rounds of SPAM attacks.

While I am more likely than not to come down hard on certain products here are a couple I really like.

First up: Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. In about 5 minutes using nothing more toxic than hot water it cleaned years of accumulated grime off the steering wheel. Dirt and grease that over the years other more expensive products had failed to touch.

Second up: Mothers Headlight Restoration. Comes with a buffer for your electric drill, Acrylic safe polishing compound, micro cloth for the final buff and if you really want to take the time to remove all the little pits, a graded set of wet sand emory pads 600-2000.

I did not bother with the sanding. Just using the polishing compound took less than 10 minutes and as you can see from the split image made a world of difference. Looks like enough compound for at least half a dozen clean-ups. Cost was $25 at a local independent parts store. You can probably do better in the big city. If you're really cheap just look for polishing compound designed for acrylics and buff by hand.
