Question Cleaning Door Panels

Its that time to start cleaning the interior, but I'm not sure of what everyone uses to clean the door panels and the dash with. I've heard horror stories with Armor All. So what would be the best way to detail the interior? TIA

Yes, do not use armor all, here is what you need to use, I HAVE ALREADY TRIED IT.

Orange cloths made by armour all. No crap they clean perfectly.

Orange clean is the name I believe and made by armour all. Someone already posted this thread so do a search if you don't believe me.

I was hesistant at first and did a small area, and it didn't stain like armour all.

Wal mart sells them for $3.79

Yes on 303 but apply to cloth & then wipe instead of putting 303 directly on door.

I tried Armour All once and i was like After that I haven't touched the interior except to vacum and clean the glass. I'll have to give those orange wipes a try, I've been getting desperate.

Thanks for the suggestion

Ian

So the consensus on cleaning the door panels appears to be either a wet rag or the "orange" armor all cleaning wipes. As far as UV protection, is there anything we can apply to the door panels that wont leave stains?

I have tried Armor All Products on other vehicles. So, I was skeptical, but gave the "Armor All Orange Wipes" a try. I must "Ditto" comments made by "Zand02max" and "Ninja-Z"! They do work and do not leave streaks. Had to go to a couple of Auto Stores before finding them at Checker. I still want to give 303 a try.

Use 303 or Vinylex - they both are designed to protect and preserve vinyl (dashboards, door panels, etc) and have UV protectants.
