nothing like a spray of WD40 and a house hold dusting cloth the yellow type should bring it up like new.

not sure bout soap the emulsifying agents in soap could disolve grease&oil inside the reel if it gets in, then youd have to open it up and re-oil everything...dismantle the reel and give it a good going over with a damp cloth....

Give it a good squirt of lighter petrol and oil using rocket fuel. :D
