How to clean a technic car

So i know this is a weird question but my cousin gave me the technic Bugatti bolide and it was prebuilt with dust and crust and dirt all over it (idk what) but would you recommend taking it apart and cleaning the individual pieces or just wash it all while it’s built? Can’t really be bothered making it again but will do what I have to to restore this beauty to its shiny spot free state. Thanks all submitted by /u/Mashgo [link] [comments]
