I am not sure if that plastic piece comes off or not. Do you know?

    I generally remove all metal pieces that will come off without too much trouble and either clean them in my tumbler or scrub them by hand using a metal polish. As for the plastic part in your photos, the cover over the area where the ball path curves will not come off. I clean that area with a good plastic polish and a handful of Q-Tips to get all of the grime out of the ball path. It takes a bit of time, but you can get the inside clean with a little effort.

    Never put plastic pieces in your tumbler!

    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
