Pick a sunny day and do seats and carpets plus card inserts; let then dry and do seats and carpets again. Rest is just a good wipe with warm water or kitchen degreaser then vinyl cleaner/back to black. Comes up a treat. Back bench comes out in five minutes so you can do it outside the car.

They could be impregnated with grit and grime from dozens of cars. I never let anyone else near my cars for that very reason. No cloth gets near the paintwork until I am sure there are no particles of anything that can be ground in. The cloth is rinsed in clean water every time it has touched the paintwork just to be on the safe side.
