Default Making top of xiggy shiny?
This might seem stupid, but the top of my xiggy is all smudgy and dirty.. is there any way to safely clean it to make it shiny and nice? Rubbin Alcohol?

Clean it lightly with some vinegar and salt mixture. To do that, just use some ketchup although it will smell like ketchup afterward. This will get all the dirty stuff off, and all you have to do is probably wipe the cooler off with a cheese cloth or microfiber towel to make it shine.

Don't put too much elbow grease into it or you will collapse the fin array. I say use some vinegar and warm water. Hell, you can soak the whole dang thing in it if you want to (just take the fan off, lol).
