shifter panel?
like the trim around the shifter? the leather boot? what exactly?
I sometimes use a damp soapy rag to clean anything thats dirty (which isn't often)
I use Black Magic Tire Wet on all my dash, seats, trim, weatherstripping, anything plastic, vinyl or leather.

If you're talking about that rubberized stuff just be careful: it rubs off, scratches, etc. pretty easily. On mine, I use the least caustic stuff that'll get off scuffs or dirt.
So, first something to take off dust and dirt like a lint rag (swiffer?) and then cotton and water, gently. Maybe it's good, maybe not.
So far it looks good.

Yes, this is the trim plate replaced the old one with a new one and it is sticky, catches all dirt. Thanks for your help.
