Cleaning stethoscope to looking almost brand new

Hello Everybody

Quick question for those who have a stethoscope that's not a dark color, how do you keep it clean and looking brand new? I have been using this bright blue stethoscope for a couple of months and now, there are these color stains on it that I can't get rid off (they probably came from my scrubs).

Mr. Clean magic eraser? Try in a tiny spot first because sometimes those erasers can take the finish off shiny items, but I use them on the white rubber of my shoes all the time and they look like new!

Magic eraser doesn't work, and the parts I tried it on are a lot duller/less shiny than before. I have the same issue, lemon lime stethoscope. It is COVERED in markings and discolouration. Ill just have to send it in and get new tubing. Nothing works

Armorall on the tubing. Turtlewax on the metal.
