I just wanted to get everyones opinion, we finally moved into a place that would allow me to bring all of my old vehicles from home and some of them need a lot of help.

I actually use a gentle dish soap around decals and that, and add a soft bristled tooth brush for the hard to reach areas.

Yes,if the stickers are good,a bath in lukewarm water and dish soap will make them nice.Let the vehicle soak in the sink for several hours,and don't scrub it unless you have to.

Rinse it in cold water and let it dry on paper towels for several hours.

You can also use Oxy-Clean.

If it has mold or anything that might be dangerous,you'll have to use bleach.Take all safety precautions.

JoeCustoms has a great article on cleaning toys:Cleaning Vehicles and Playsets

If they're only dusty, a small soft-bristled paint brush usually does the job. For heavier dirt, a toothbrush and dish detergent works well, like others have said. If you are going to repaint the vehicle, you need to ensure you rinse the detergent off completely before doing so. There are also several types of "goo remover" commercially available which are excellent for removing the glue residue left behind when old decals are removed.

It sounds weird, but I usually just blow on them to get the dust off. Otherwise, a damp rag. However, I just get a HAVOC from Ender098 and it needs a bit of cleaning.

I use nitromors.. it's ideal for stripping up to 15 layers of paint and is highly corrosive..
