Exactly what I do. Did it today in fact. Red panels look brand new.

Aerospace 303 on all the surfaces. Cleans without leaving a 'too-glossy' finish.

If you have scuff marks on the lower door/threshold panels, try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.

+1 I use Aerospace 303 Vinyl Cleaner and follow it up with Aerospace 303 Protectant on all of the plastic and vinyl surfaces. And Mr. Clean Eraser works like 'magic' on scuffs.

On the plastic interior panels, WD40 works if plain damp rag is not enough.

Ive used both of these on the door panels of my C6 and found the Einzett to work better for a non streeking finish. The 303 works great on my dash with no streaking but for some reason the door panels are a pita to put protectant on without them streaking. I have no problem with streaking while using the 303 in any of my other cars just the door panels on the Vette.
