The camera is in great shape, but by the wheels there is some kind of green substance. What can I use to clean the camera body?
Thanks in advance.

Try first with a damp cloth. If this doesn't work goto cloth with a little bit alcohol. Be careful with alcohol, it can dissolve paint or loosen glue.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I had trouble finding my link.

go here for cleaning information and Minolta information.

there may be more information in the cleaning article, I have to search around on the wayback machine to find the most complete crawl, but there is enough there to get you started
