Is it still possible to pick this part up new as my set is abit grimy looking, or even better does anybody have a secret on how to clean the inside out?

I've got all the bits at home to try this over the weekend (xanthum gum, glyserine, vanish oxi-action, hydrogen peroxide): http://www.retrofixes.com/2013/10/how-t ... stics.html

I'll post up the results when I'm done.
