Door panel cleaner

Ok,ok, ok,,, I know its been discussed many times before but, what can I use to clean door panels, arm rests and other trim parts. I find lots of protectants but not alot of cleaners. For now I'm using warm soapy water and an old tooth brush. Is there anything better? I've looked through Auto Geek but nothing jumped out at me.

Be very careful with any type of abrasive pad - Mr. Clean and/or Scotchbrite.

Be VERY careful with that.....

My wife tried that on a scuff on our Blazer's glove box.

The scuff just kept getting bigger.

I thought she was smearing the scuff material, and took a closer look.

She was rubbing through the vinyl covering, down to the base plastic material!

I highly recommend the 303 Cleaner and Spot Remover for virtually all vinyl, plastic and fabric surfaces. It's a highly effective cleaner that works great for me. I typically spray it on a microfiber towel and wipe down the doors, dashboard, console, arm rests, trim, etc. If you have any other questions please let me know.

I do not recommend Mr. Clean. I've tried it and it doesn't work worth a dang for the real scuff marks. I'd wager that anyone it has worked for could have done just as well with a damp cloth.
