I use sunlight soap ( a pure yellow kitchen soap) with a soft rag & warm water. I rinse with clean water, dry ,then apply 303 vinyl ultra violet protector. Clean as a whistle!!

Most any quality brand vinyl/rubber cleaner product will work well. Most are usually a combination cleaner/protectant.

LOL! ARTICO isn't that bad.. most people can't tell the difference since they would think all MBs came with quality leather.. hahaha but yea.. getting ARTICO leather.. you'd sacrifice the smooth door panels..

Believe it or not, baby wipes. You can use them on leather or MB Tex and they clean most everything and don't damage the surface.

Griott's Garage makes an interior cleaner that works really well, and doesn't leave any shine, residue or slickness.

+1 ammonia foam spray, also simply a damp (water only) works too.

as i said before, in my opinion, nothing that ive ever used restored the original finish of the tex better than foaming ammonia-free glass cleaner...

try it and let me/us know what you think!

oh, and although water works well, unfortunately it does not fully remove greasy residue...will work on dust, but not the former..

Since Tex is vinyl, any name brand cleaner from an auto supply store.
I like Tuff Stuff, a foam cleaner. Supermarkets carry it, too.
