It might not be dirt. The plastic might be yellowing. Has it been around cigarette smoke a lot?

I think we have a thead around here on how to remove the yellow staining, but anyway I say look for cleaners with mild traces of bleach. Some people say it damages the surface though, but I've never seen any damage, and it seems to brighten the casing up nicely while cleaning it as well.

Yeah bleach will remove color. I believe the advice was just for the yellow staining on the dreamcast.
