cracks are best dusted with a brush of some source. the panels themselves, i've found mr clean's magic erasers to do very well. they pull almost everything off. you'll probably want to throw down a light coat of armor all cleaner afterwards (the cleaner leaves a little shine without evaporating and making your windows a bitch to clean)

I use a old credit card or something with an edge and put it through a cloth for the trim.

1- Get 2 paint brushes, cut the bristles 1/2 length on one of the brushes.
2- For paint chips, use a touch-up paint with the exact color so the match is perfect..., then- Use Mothers Paint Chip Repair Kit to remove thebig ugly blob and rush marks, it makes the "TU" un-noticable

I was really suprsied how clean my door panels turned out by using Simple Green mixed with some warm water. I applied it with a stiff bristle scrub brush. Results are awesome.

I work at a detail place, if you can, get some degresser and an air gun, spray a lil degresser in there, get a cloth and cover it (so you dont spray it everywhere) and let at it with the air gun. Should be good as new
