I've always just used the car-wash soap in water -- just moisten, NOT dripping wet, a small sponge with it when you wash your car and clean the interior with that. Works for me.

A couple sprays of windex on a paper towel (just damp) works for me on the light stuff. For bigger jobs dish soap on a washcloth and dry with a dish towel.

BTW thought I'd throw this in since its "interior cleaning" for fabrics take regular shaving cream, mush on dirt, let sit 5-10 min, use warm damp cloth to remove, dry well with towel then let air dry. Works great, my ex worked at DQ, so I had fudge and other ice cream toppings on my seats all the time, and that was my standby.

Just make sure to dry it good or it'll leave a watermark. If it does leave a watermark wet again and dry. It doesn't take a lot of water. So wring the cloth out good.

dish towels aren't usually terry cloth.

I'm a newby on this forum but have been lurking for awhile-- intros later. In answer to your question, if your refering to the scuff marks on your lower plastic door panel's and sill area, get some Barkeepers Friend. It is a NON ABRASIVE clenser. Take a sponge, wet it and put a bit of the clenser on it and lightly rub it on the scuffs. They will dissappear, rinse with a wet cloth and your done. Been using this for years and have yet to harm any plastic.
This stuff is also great if you want to clean your windshield--same process--wet the windshield, sprinkle on some clenser and go up and down, kind of making a light paste, and rinse it off (do a half at a time). Will get rid of water spots , ect.
