Soz me again.. my beige door panels have skidmarks lol it looks like they are from shoes/trainers from the driver and passenger getting in and out of the car. I've been told to try white spirit? but that stuff stinks and dont rally wanna go down that route..

You could try an old trick I picked up from Practial Classics magazine. Swarfega and a nail brush. I had an Austin A30 with plastic seats and cleaned them using this method, they came up a treat. Try in on a small out of the way area first.

Fairy Power Spray. Ignore the fool on the adverts, it's excellent at removing the dirt from the grain of door card pockets. Good for washer bottles / expansion tanks too :)

Good shout Chris. Never underestimate fairy liquid/spray, great for cleaning interior plastic, engine parts, oily hands, lubricating windscreens in etc etc..
