I have a 23 D90 and the materials I am talking about is that spongy neoprene like stuff around the trim and door handles. This stuff is IMPOSSIBE to clean with soap and water. It looks nothing les than gross after getting natural oils and lotions from your skin on them. I asked the dealership and they finally told me it has to be cleaned with special chemicals. Anyone else found a way to get it clean?

I've used windex and paper towels so far on mine and it has worked.

 

I guess my hands and arms are not as oily as some people's.

Water or windex and microfiber cloth work fine to get out the salt stains from beach trips.

I think other people have had the issue of using weird cleaners, that then need even weirder cleaners to remove the residue from the first. Like people using armorall on anything and then my trying to remove that horrible sheen from a car I have bought

 

Damp rag gets about everything for me. Will hit the canvas seat surround with some foam on occasion.

 

I use Griots Interior Cleaner and a microfiber towel. Seems to work well.

 

OEM Flammenwerfer.

 

I have good experiences with cleaning foam and a soft brush, rinse with water afterwards and dry with a cotton towel.
( You may need several attemps depending on how much polution of mud .)

 

Most of the inside of any assembled auto is plastic. It comes in all sorts of shapes - for example carpet is made of plastic. I always look for a cleaner that is designed to clean plastic. A also look for products that protect the plastic to make it easier to use the cleaners.

The one product that I repeatedly reach for is this one: It just works. Might be worth giving a try

 

Me trying to sound the name out.

What about a Spot Clean or Little Green?
