All good tips!! Don't forget you can use a heat gun or hair dryer to get discolored plastic back to the original color. They can also be used to smooth scuffs and scrapes if you are patient and careful as it actually melts the plastic smooth. To clean the motor, I use Castrol Purple or one of the knock-offs, then I use carb cleaner followed by soapy water. As you can see on the Maico, the sand cast cases respond very well to this approach! The final thing is that I clean just about everything else with WD-40 or something like it using paper towels or rags. The 1983 Cagiva 125 is the best example as the plastic and seat are originals!!
