Default door panel cleaning

What do you guys use to clean the door panels on the Z, they are harder then they look 2 clean, sometimes im thinking of covering it with black sheet of leather, to make the cleaning easier and it would look good, but for right now, what do you guys use to clean then inside?

On the door panels, the best is probably mild soap and water. Armor all is very blotchy.

I use Vinylex. This product is made by Summit Industries, the maker of Lexol Leather Care Products. I apply it with a damp high quality sponge. The sponge works well to get below the "goose pimples". 3M makes a good plastic/vinyl cleaner too, but Vinylex is my choice. It does not leave that fake ArmorAll shine, and does a great job of cleaning and protecting.

so having learned myself the hard way that the armor all is blotchy... any suggestions on how to remove it? Just soap and water? I did try a damp cloth and that alone didn't seem to do the trick.

Default Armor all

With the Armor all the first application always sucks.. It needs to work into the dash.. so if it is blotchy wait a day then do it again.. If you see a differace let us know but you should by the 3rd coat it should get a lot better and all it will need is maintence.. That is just what i noticed in my previous car..
