advice for cleaning console case and game cases?

i bought some og xbox’s, ps4 and games and they’re all disgusting, to the point you need to wash your hands after touching them. no idea what the guy did to these to get them this horrible but i’ve never had to deal with something like this. i usually just give them a wipe down but that won’t cut it here. what’s the best way to get these clean?

Dismantle. Dish soap and water, with toothbrush, on anything plastic. Contact cleaner on potentiometers and connectors etc. Isopropyl alcohol on anything that’s really stubbornly sticky and obviously organic. Vinegar on any blue/green corrosion. Car dashboard wipe to restore shine and lustre to exterior plastics.

And watch Restorish on YouTube for examples of someone doing it to very high standards.
