Cleaning the optics

I'm sure this has been posted before but I cannot seem to find anything on it.

I just got some 8 year old Cyber SVs and Studio Color 575. The came out of a mall store and have been sitting collecting dust...and I mean a lot of dust....as in shake the fixture and clumps fall to the floor kinda dust.

I've cleaned up the outsides and now moved on the the inside. But how and what do I use to clean the optics. I'm speaking of the gobos, color mix wheels, dichroics...in short, everything. I thought I'd start with some low volume compressed air like they use on computers. But then do I need to take the entire module apart? Can I just remove various lenses (some look glued/siliconed in place). Or can they be cleaned in place with a long swab. Remember...they're filthy. Also what do I use ... alcohol ... Windex ... amonia ... soap and water.

Thanks!
