Default A question for those of you with light gray interior

What do you use to keep your inner door handles clean? I know this must be a constant struggle for most of you with light gray interior.

I don't have the gray interior but I have always had good results using Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer.

I use Lexol leather cleaner or Zaino leather cleaner. I use very little of the cleaner, then wipe down with a wet microfiber towel. I try to clean all the surfaces often before they get too dirty. The back of the center armrest, where the vents are facing the rear seat (above the central hump), is where it gets dirty super fast because of my daughter and her friends riding in the back seat. Some how they always manage to get shoe scuff marks back there.

Love that stuff! Can spray it on anything and it's not greasy.

I just recently purchased a new product called VLR from Mothers. VLR (vinyl, leather, rubber), is a cleaner and protectant that contains lanolin, neets foot oil, and some other "stuff". Gets great reviews, but I haven't actually tried it yet on my LS. I also use Meguiars Interior Detailer, but find that it's so mild that it doesn't actually clean tough stains very well.

I've been using the griots garage vinyl/rubber dressing for the non-leather trim, and the griots leather care. I've enjoyed both, theyre easy wipe on/wipe off types and leaves a nice matte finish, looks great out in the sun. It clean pretty well, just go over the stubborn bits a few extra times. Also, try using an old toothbrush and some water based cleaners for the really tough stuff (a neat trick I learned from my detailer). It also helps that I am a single guy without any kids and I drive the car alone for a good 95+% of the time.
