I wouldn't use anything that harsh on the finish.That could kill the shine on the machine and possibly take the paint and decals off!
If you want to clean it use GoJo NON PUMICE hand cleaner and a plethora of cotton balls and paper towels. work in small areas at a time and take lots of time to clean it. Then you can polish the finish with a good wax of polish. But always test a small area on the rear of the machine first to see if it is compatible with the finish.
