Best way to clean these door panels?
Hi all, Just purchased a 1985 scottsdale chevy truck and the interior is in surprisingly good shape. It mainly just needs a good cleaning(except for the cracked dash pad, Arizona truck). I was wondering what is the best way to clean the door panels? Thanks in advance all. Here is a couple of pics of interior and door panels.

Re: Best way to clean these door panels?
They look pretty darn clean to me for an old truck//if you were planing on spraying them with dye i'd use the spray cleaners available at the autopaint stores to remove all the wd40 andother stuff containing silicone like amorall that's been used on them over the years// really i'd b usin as is for the next ten years or so before i'd worry about them needin cleanin

VLR is probably one of my favorite interior cleaners out there. You can use it on pretty much every single surface in the interior, and it's just spray on and wipe off.

Dawn dishwashing liquid and magic eraser.

Re: Best way to clean these door panels?
SEM soap is likely the best. It's the product used just before painting interior pieces.

http://www.prowax.com/1gifs/C-11_5_13.gif I do some detailing on the side, and these are the products I use. The tornado really gets the dirt out of the crevices that are are to get or reach. But you can just use the C-11 in a spray bottle and then wipe with a towel. Follow up with your favorite vinyl dressing. |

I've tried everything to clean parchment panels on my 72 pickup soaps vinyl cleaner etc etc etc. Tried bleach straight out of the bottle and a medium bristled brush with a little work I'd swear they look brand new.

Re: Best way to clean these door panels?
For just cleaning, I've always used simple green or whatever scent of Pine-Sol you prefer mixed in hottest water you can stand to put your hand in. Really gets the grime off.
Nice truck btw!
