Rubbing alcohol would be the safest and won't remove paint unless rubbed.
Laquer thinner is much stronger and will remove labels, paint and glue from things. Don't use laquer thinner on wires or coils, etc. I wouldn' use it at all.
Since everthing needs cleaning I would use Phil's alcohol method.
Formula 409 or Fantastic would work great but needs to be thoroughly flushed with distilled water, then it would need to be flushed with alcohol to get the water out, then it needs to sun/air dry for several hours.
I would remove any paper labels and reglue them afterwards.
Putting anything valuable in the dishwasher is nuts.
How about before and after pics?
