I have a tan interior MY 99 and would like to clean the hoops and door panels/ dash. They are not leather, they are some type of plastic or vinyl, I believe. Anyone here have any suggestions or knowledge on how to clean these parts? Thanks

I should mention I never used the cleaner, I just wipe my doors and dash with microfiber cloth sprayed with 303 protectant and it works great. Much better than the nasty Armorall stuff.

It may be different for you since my interior is black so I don't think the cleaner is necessary unless I get some serious stains.

Klasse All in One. it will work well on any synthetic surfaces. They changed the formulation to comply with VOC rules (these care car products have all manner toxic goodies) but unless you live in a Beijing toxic waste zone it should still do the job for a simple roadster. Skip the Klasse All in One sealant which they usually sell as a pair. A real pain to work in evenly.

For my hoop area, I use hot soapy (mild, like Zaino car wash Z6) water with a white 100% terry cloth towel. Dry. Then top with a little Vinylex:
