I've had great results using Castrol Super Clean degreaser to strip plastic. I used it to strip the dash in my Barracuda of old chrome plating & paint. I also use it on vintage model cars I rebuild.

I had a post on Castrol Super Clean, from what I have read it's gone. At least I can't find it anymore.

Great! Thank you to everyone for the input! My interior is black so I figured that I can at least spiff these up and find a good home for them. Best of all, I learned something new in the process. I should have thought of the DOT 3 brake fluid before.

Why not 600 grit sand paper?
Because sand paper does not know the difference between removing paint or plastic. If you don't mind losing some fine details and don't mind missing areas in corners where you simply cant sand, sand away.
