Default Rubber interior surfaces

Seems like everything and anything that comes in contact with the soft rubber interior panels leaves some kind of a scuff mark or residue. I've been using just water to try and clean.

What is everyone else using? Please no slippery shiny stuff like Armor All

Thanks in Advance

I just use a dark colored damp towel (no lint) and wipe it down every once in a while. Works perfect.

Scuff marks on the lower part of the door and the door sill come clean easily with the use of Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser. They're found in a cardboard box in the cleaning aisle of your grocery store, as well as in the auto detailing aisle of Wal-Mart and a few other places. They are slightly abrasive, so 2 or 3 light swipes is all it takes.

Good Advice.
I use a damp microfiber towel for a weekly wipe-down, and use a little Meguiar's Natural Shine every month or so to maintain the richess of the vinyl without adding bling.

I use (dont laugh) either glass cleaner or fantastic. Sometimes I use the Zymol leather cleaner as well.


Glass cleaner is the foamy spray kind. Works for me and it doesnt leave anything behind.

I noticed that too and it was very disturbing at first. I found some Glass Plus (like Windex) wipes in my shop that I use for cleaning things. They pop out of a cylindrical container like baby wipes. One cloth will take all the smudges and scuffs off all the interior bits. Works great and they don't hurt the finish as far as I can tell. When I detail the interior, I give it a coat of Speed Shine to replace anything the glass cleaner may have removed.

use a Mr. Clean majic eraser for stubborn spots ... nice crisp and light scent, and no shine or leftover residue.

I use a leather cleaner on the dash and upper door panels (softer stuff) and Magic Eraser for scuff marks on the lower door panels. Otherwise, just a damp cloth.

I just recently started using Meguiars Dash Foam. It cleans and protects. Its not very greasy at all and it works on all the surfaces in the interior.
