Hi there. Just would like to share some "method" I use to clean my paqqy.
Bluetack. Pinch some (must be new and not used before or risk scratching) about 2cm diameter and knead between your thumb and fore finger until bluetack soft and warm.
Gently roll over the bluetack across the silver coloured casing and take note of the grime and finger prints were easily lift off.
Not recommended for rolling over the screen as pressure applied may break the LCD screen but you could shape the bluetack to sharp and pointed edges and remove dust around the speaker grilles, AC/DC slot,etc.
Hope you'll find this useful.

Now the PDA shops will start selling bluetack too.

Thanks for the encouragement Guys.
I think this is one effective method to safely (no chemical involved) and effectively lift of the grime off the iPAQ finish (as it is actually rough in microscopic terms) and restoring it's original shine.
It would be interesting to find out from Owners of iPAQ what they think about it after they have tried it out.
How do I add this thread to the FAQ as suggested by vicott (Thanks for the suggestion!)? Maybe one of you Senior and Ultra Senior members could help.
