What do you clean the door panels & handles with?

[hyde]

My liberty limited has beige interior (door panels, handles, trims) and they got a bit dirty over time although i did clean them -just have not had the time to do the detail work past year and a half), I tried armor all wipes and meguiars wipes, they don't seem to come off easily from the panels, while they come off a bit (not complete) better from the door handles, as they look like pure plastic while door panels are kind of foam material.

I don't want to mess it up or melt it by using household cleaners, but what did you clean yours with?

If you have scuff marks or something near the bottom use a "magic eraser". They work real good. Other than that I have been using McGuires interior detailer. It is ok. Not fantastic, but ok. When I run out I will look for something else.

At the shop I work at, we use magic erasers for light scuffs and dirt too.
For tougher stuff I usually take a Scotchbrite scour pad and some Meguiars either "Super Degreaser" or "All Purpose Cleaner".
Not sure if those are available to consumers or just commercially though.
The scour pads however I highly recommend, just start lightly because you don't want to take the paint off.

You can order the above stuff on line.

On Limited and Renegade models part of the door trim (above the pull handle) is leather.

I seriously doubt that it is leather.

I seriously doubt that it is leather.

I don't know if it is real leather or not, but it is definitely not the hard plastic that the Sports got. Jeep says that it is leather in the brochures and I think my build sheet even said leather.

I know what you mean, the top portions, that's what I have, light gray interior color matching the leather seats, but that is nowhere near leather. Probably fake leather, but even not a successful one at that. It is like foam.

okay so we will call it pleather I used leather cleaner on mine when I got it and it got a lot of the grime off, now I just wipe it down with meguires leather wipes when I was the truck and it works good.

That's what I thought. Mine is tan to match the seats but I dought it is leather. Even the leather seats are a cheaper grade of leather compared to my Son's Cayenne but that's a $80,000+ vehicle .....big difference.
