Vynal Cleaning and Upkeep

[freddie]

I can't seem to find a suitable product to clean the dash console and vynal door trims.

As they have an embosed grain it seems that the dirt gets clogged into the grainy pattern and you always see the dirt marks. I can't seem to get a good clean look. Of course I have black interior which shows up the dust even more.

Are there any good products that will enhance the vynal and keep it clean. Is there a good cleaner and then a protector product that will block out grit once sealed.

My console and door trims are pretty good after 26 years - just want to keep it smart looking.
Any toughts would be great.

I was using a product called Turtle Wax Super Protectant F21. George (NJFiat1981) liked the looks of my vinyl so much he tried to buy it too but couln't find it anywhere. I checked on line and it turns out it is pretty much being replaced by a new product (probably the same stuff) under a new Turtle Wax car care line called ICE.

So anyway I bought the new stuff for George and me. It is called ICE Total Interior Care. It is a cleaner/protectant. I think it works good. It doesn't clean as good as soap and water but isn't as harsh either. It cleaned and brightened my interior without making things all slippery and it doesn't leave a greasy sheen like Armor All. It seems like I can use it as often as I want and it doesn't build up. They cliam you can use it for anything in the interior, including, get this, stains in the carpet.

Here's a picture of it

And no, I don't have stock in Turtle Wax.

I've used Mcguires vinyl cleaner with great results and used an old toothbrush for those textured crome panels on the door and such.
