DUmb Question

[BigBlu72]

I have a 72 GMC 3/4 ton and was wondering if any one knows a good way to clean the door panels? I have tried soap water and a sponge but doesn't seem to get in all textured areas.

Thank you

Try hand cleaner that has pumice in it.

I use either windex or purple power. Usually I water down the purple power though.

Use a diluted degreaser like purple power.

I've been told that soaking them in the bath tub is a good way to get them really clean as well haven't tried it yet

You can use ANY of those products, they'll all work, with a brush. They're at Wal-Mart for scrubbing dishes, like $3. Shoot you might have one in the kitchen right now you could go steal.

Steal the scrub brush from the kitchen along with the Simple Green, fill the tub with hot water, add the simple green, scrub with pilfered brush, drain and clean said tub, dry panels with wife's bath towel, wipe hands on curtains and your done. (Do this while wife is out shopping).
Good Luck and remember to deny everything.

I did my 72 parchment panels and they look new. Also, use spray clear 'satin' or semi=gloss paint to seal the plastic, if you don't it wont clean up when it gets dirty. Mine are now 2 years since blasting and still look new with a damp rag. You can prob. get yours done for $40 or so.

Excellent advice.

If you want to take it a step farther, ReneKeene has a good how-to on refinishing starting on post #1378.

I use Purple Power and a plastic brush. I rinse them and dry them well and then I spray them down with Armorall and spray it on thick...I leave them overnight without wiping the Armorall off allowing it soak in overnight...They look like new in the morning! I use this method for all plastic parts and even the armrests come out looking like new...
