Interior cleaning
There are a million posts on how to clean the exterior/paint/wheels/top/engine/plastic window...etc. However I'm having trouble finding tips on cleaning the non leather interior parts of the car. Like the top of the dash...the doors...the rollbar areas...etc.
What do you guys use? I remove the excess dust with a swiffer and that works wonders but how about cleaning the dirt off?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!

two main products of choice for vinyl (and they can be used on rubber- including under hood and tires):
vinylex
303
either is an excellent product- i use both!
to keep the shine down, use one coat and remove it promptly- spray a rag away from the car and use the rag to clean up the vinyl. use another rag to wipe it down.
i like a little shine and apply 2 coats. for lotsa shine, apply two thick coats- and let the first one sit a bit before removal.

Should I clean the dirty areas with these products first? Or should I use soapy water (like that website mentioned) first and THEN use 303 or vinylex?
There's some dirt buildup on my roll bar areas....behind the seats....door areas are a bit dirty. If I run my finger over the areas....they attract the dirt. The car looks clean, even as a passenger....but upon close inspection...there's dirt on the surface. I will purchase these products.....which I think I can get at the local auto supply store?

I drive top down most days and the interior gets dusty but no heavy grunge. I go over the interior surfaces with a mini California duster at least once a week. Its fast and easy to get into the tight spots you mention. I figure its working 'cause when I 303 the MF applicator doesn't show any dirt. GL!
