Default Are these door panels going to be a pain?

What is everyone using to clean their door panels with?
In my mind, the texture, although cool looking, looks like it will be hard to clean with normal interior cleaner.
I have a feeling that it'd leave stuff between the little dimples.

Ideas?

That very well might work!

I've already scuffed the speaker area a couple times getting in and out and it leaves a little dirt behind.

By the way,
Nice shot of the GT2!

I use one, but once a month I'll use Meguiars vinyl care just to keep a decent shine and rub out anything that won't dust off. I've never heard abou Meguiars drying out a dash like Armor-All so i'll keep using that till otherwise. =)

Wish it was my GT2. =(

In some other threads regarding this topic several people recommended 303. Bought some and tried it but it left spots and streaks on the door panel. Tried some diluted Zaino car wash in a spray bottle and it worked quite well. I know the manual says not to use car wash on the interior but I thought the Zaino would be pretty mild and tested it in a small area first. I have a feeling these panels will be a long term challenge.

I had the same thing happen when I used 303. Since I'm such a fan of Properautocare, I called them about this. The guy recommended Pinnacle Leather & Vinyl Cleaner. It worked pretty good.

man my toe hits the door EVERYTIME I get in the car, and leaves a little dirt streak. I can never open the door wide enough without hitting the car next to me.

I just take the drying towel after its dried the car and is damp and wipe it down. cleans it up fine for me.
