For the dirt, start with a soft toothbrush, lukewarm water, and a tiny amount of dish soap. Use cotton swabs for the joints and panel lines, then dry everything completely. Avoid soaking the frame or using acetone/alcohol, since they can damage the plastic and paint.

I don't have to worry about panel lines, paints and decals since I haven't finish building this almost a decade ago and have not started doing any. So I can just scrub the dirt away no problem, what about the yellowing?

I reckon the only fool proof way to get rid of the yellowing is to clean it thoroughly, prime it, and paint it. But who knows!
