Hey guys, my boss just picked up a 2004 columbia day cab for me to drive. Outside it's very nice, inside not so much! You can imagine what I'm talking about, I don't think the previous driver ever used gloves. So what is a good cleaner to get the grease or whatever it is off of the door and dash? I thought brake cleaner might do it but might be not so good for the plastic. Thanks for any advice.

i just use simply green and lot's elbow grease, i forgot but kind of grease we talking about, does this door have electric or manual windows, what i did once when i got truck like this , i got some plastic , taped up good across the door opening and used a power washer from the shop on it, it was grey one time, but had so much grease on it you couldn't tell , but this a manual door too, don't try this on electric door could be a big mistake

If theres carpets in it, Resolve with pet cleaner. I used that in my t600 when i first got it and its spotless now! I'll take some pics later to show you!

dish soapy water and a small brush.

Simple Green works good, I never dilute mine and always use it straight if the grease is really bad. Go to the dollar tree and get a nice bristle brush and it will get the grease out.
I'm a neat FREAK and my interior looks brand new in all the trucks I've ever gotten.
I drove a daycab hauling scrap metal that was so bad that I tore the seats out on a weekend, and used the hose on the rubber mat floors with soapy water until they were decent enough to use the simple green on, I use armor all Orange cleaner wipes for the dash they work good and dont leave any Lint behind and Eagle One all natural glass cleaner works really nice on glass.
I use a little hand held carpet upholstry steamer to clean my seats and carpets (you didnt say if your truck was rubber mat or carpet flooring). -
Orange clean here too
If it's really bad, either Pine-Sol or ammonia / water.
