Simple Green. Then fine rubbing compound will clean them up to fresh looking.
Test cleaners are compounds on the back side of the box to experiment with first.

Full Circle Restoration makes a kit to refinish the plastic. I used it on my airgrabber box and looks good!

i have the kit for my airgrabber, but i don't think it will take care of the fibers protruding from the surface of the box? should i lay the paint on in thick coats and sand back down?
