mrmel2you Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Not sure how many this will help, but here goes my 2 cents worth. I took the door panels off The Beast today to put some speakers in. While I had the panels off I decided to clean them up a bit. Started off with just some soap, water and sponge----didn't work out too well. I then tried one of old time favorites, 409 and a sponge----still wasn't satisfied. What really worked out super, we all have a can of GOOP hand cleaner laying around, right? I used that with a knuckle brush, scrubbed the heck out of it. Wiped the panels off with some paper towels, then sprayed them with 409, wiped them off with more paper towels. Then I sprayed on some vinyl protectant spray (like Amour All) and wiped it off with yet some more paper towels. Let me tell ya, I thought I had dark grey panels when I started cleaning, but afterwards----they are light gray, and look and feel almost new. Only took about 20 minutes to do both panels---and it was worth it :) Can't wait to finish the rest of The Beast now :) Happy Trails everyone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megadan Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Alternatives that also work well, and in the case of soft vinyl actually help soften it up again. Woolite laundry detergent. Surprisingly it works really well for cleaning soft vinyl.A good protectant for rubber and vinyl that is not petroleum based is 303 Aerospace protectant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
