Oh dear, how do I clean my Olivetti Valentine?

Just received my Olivetti Valentine in excellent condition, but being a cleaning obsessive I applied some 'trade wipes' to the plastic finish. These wipes are great for cleaning just about anything normally, but have produced a dull effect on the Valentine. Does anyone know of a plastic restorer that might bring back the original shine? Here's hoping! John.

Yes, using a soft cloth, try metal polish (Brasso) or car paint restorer (T-cut) which is very similar.  The plastic is fairly soft, and you can re-polish the smooth surfaces successfully.  On the matt surfaces, use car bumper or dashboard shine to add that extra lustre !

Thanks, it seems better already (I think I used a non-abrasive cream cleaner).
