Those Pledge "Dust and Go" cloths work pretty well.

For really greasy marks, those computer screen wipes you can get in PoundLand shops (or in your office stationery cupboard ) work well, 'cos they don't drip fluid into the works.

Dont kmow about fluids for degreasing, but the trick is patience and a 'use much less' approach.
For dust , use brushes 1cm paint brush should do it. In relation to grease, standard cleaners should do, just remember that you dont need to unload half a can over the thing, or launch the stuff into channels that you wont be able to get at. A minute amount onto the tip of the rag and patiently, a little area at a time. (should have it done by Christmas In relation to smaller areas and awkward areas, use those things that the Missus buys for your ears !! (dont know correct name I am a bloke
Hope some of this helps

Telboy? Perhaps your eyesight is giving you problems and there are no marks.

Hey Telboy, how do I clean my old radio?

I do hope he replies as all the dust is ruining the sound.

Air Duster followed by Back To Black or such, applied to a cloth first, to get the grease etc off the buttons and *****.
