How do I make it look pretty?

[Tank_Snake]

So I have a 2000 XLT that I got for $400, and it's in amazing condition for 17 years. Everything works, smooth engine all electronics work flawlessly.
But.....im trying to make it look as good as I can, so how do i get rid of the caked on dirt that inevitably happens on the doors and dash?
Any particular chemicals or cleaner?
Here's what I'm talking about.
It is cleanable, just trying to find an easier way.

Horsehair (!) brush and dish soap in hot water to clean leather/leatherette and textured plastics.

You can get these brushes in personal grooming or shoe care sections of grocery stores or pharmacies, maybe 5 bucks.



This was a nasty, grimy door panel from a junkyard, taken off a car missing glass & exposed to the elements, and then left laying around in my yard for a couple months.

You got a great deal on that exspy. Post some before and after pictures if you can. How many miles on her?

Melamine sponges on Amazon are the same as Magic Erasers and cost much less.
