for the body of the camera you can use Edwal film cleaning solution or 91% Edwal film cleaning solution or my personal favorite, a 90+percent isopropyl solution (your local pharmacist would be of great help if you can't find it). Take a cloth and dip it in the solution and wring it out so that it is almost dry and wipe the body off. You can also use an old, soft toothbrush or small model brush dipped in the solution. Isopropyl alcohol works great to clean off cameras; any excess moisture that gets in the camera will evaporate quickly, and the alcohol works well to remove grime, grease, oil, etc. Hope this helps, good luck and may your camera soon sparkle again.
Following the advices here, I rubbed my old F80 and D70 bodies with pure Isopropyl alcohol (99.8%) and a lint free cloth, and both recovered the original grip and look. It's a job that one has to do with plenty of time and detail to get a perfect finish, but it's worth the effort. I have a AF-S DX 18-70mm zoom that needs the same treatment on the focus grip. Just be careful to do it in a well vented room (Isopropyl alcohol is harmful if breathed). Thanks a lot for your help!
I have a Nikon D70s with a very sticky body. I rubbed 91% Isopropyl Alcohol on the entire body about 6 times which finally eliminated the stickiness but it dulled the finish. I then used several ArmorAll clean wipes to coat the finish and restore the sheen. I may have to do it every few years but it's well worth the effort.
"Same problem with D70. The secret with the isopropyl is a gentle wipe. Don't try to rub it dry as I did the first time. Allow each cleaning session to become well and truly dry so that the 'plastic/rubber' becomes firm again. As with Ken above, patience is required . 4 or 5 'sessions' and it's fine now.
