Try CP100 or Flitz. Flitz preferably. Just don’t push too hard. If the dirt or grime is deep and ate into the metal or oxidized, it may be hard to make it look great without damaging the artwork.

Quoted from Timerider:
I absolutely would NOT use anything like that on a Bally apron from the 70's. As others stated above, you look sideways at those aprons and the paint wipes off.

I just cleaned one with Flitz and a microfiber cloth a few weeks ago on a Bally Lost World, and it had a ton of dirt and grime caked into it. Didn’t press hard, and no paint loss at all.

But the paint can be fragile, so always proceed with caution. Especially with early 70’s EM games.
