Question Cleaning sun visors

I mentioned in my introduction thread (https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...roduction.html) that the textured hard plastic sunvisors in the car had acted like a pumice stone on the heel of my hand once. Well it happens all the time now; every time I move the visor I leave behind dry, dead skin cells which not only stay on the visor but get transferred to the surrounding headliner. Since the car is a Sport model and the visors and headliner are both black, it's starting to get a bit unsightly. I use a tack cloth to dust down the rest of the interior, but it has little effect on those surfaces.

Suggestions for hand moisturizers aside (it is winter, after all; besides, anything greasy on my hands would transfer to the car, not a good thing), how best to clean the visors and headliner? I don't want to use anything like a Vinylex or similar as it would make the matte plastic shiny, and I'm not averse to using a different product on each surface. Thanks in advance!

Try using turtle wax Ice interior detailer. It doesnt have a shiny residue and cleans very well. I use this on my visor and headliner and removes those marks as well with a microfiber cloth.
