In this instance, I used CLR cleaner on the sides. The top comes off and you can use a scouring pad or SOS pad to clean that surface under some warm water. I have lots of parts radios that I use for repairs including some more presentable tops. Sometimes it's easier to just swap out a nicer looking top.
