Tan Interior Question?
I have a problem with my tan interior. Im 6 feet and I always scuff the door when trying to get out of the car with my shoes, because its low and usually I can not open the door 100%. What has anyone used to bring the bright tan back, not the dull dirty tan I have now.

The Simple Green will not harm the panels and won't harm leather either, BUT you will need to use a leather reconditioner or moisturizer afterwards.
The nylon scrub brush will not damage the panels and will get into the texture of the panel to remove dirt.

I've used the simple green on my daily driver with success. I found the porous plastic/vinyl cleans up well if you lightly dampen a paper towel with simple green (or goo gone, for drastic spots) and press it into the surface. This will blot out the gunk stuck in the pores that a brush won't penetrate. But you must follow with a water blot to 'rinse' and then recondition the panel with Vinylex.

I've also heard that the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works awesome. I haven't used it on the car, but it works GREAT around the house.

mr clean magic eraser. like 2 to 3 bucks for two. cleans anything and everything. just wipe it off that easy. check it out if don't believe me. it is magic, also is specialized to get into the cracks and clean uneven surfaces like walls and vinyl. never seen anything like it. works better than any degreaser by far. whoever is doing the **** at Mr clean company is damn smart and I suppose rich too.
