Cleaning Inside of Compartment Doors

I've noticed that the areas of my lower compartment doors that are exposed to the elements tend to get stained/dirty. Tried several cleaners and nothing worked 'easily'. While in my local Napa store, I stumbled upon a Star brite product, "Instant Hull Cleaner". This cleaner is amazing! Simply wipe on and all the stains/dirt are removed without any scrubbing, including rust stains. Rinse with a damp cloth and the doors look like new.

Thanks for the info, John! I too have been bugged by the 'ring around the door'. I'll get some of that stuff today...

Thanks John. Our Journey is a 2001 and the doors cleaned up good after alot of scrubing. But not the ring. Now I can get the yellow out also.

John thanks for the tip. I have been using Clorox and water and it does a good job on the white but doesn't touch the yellow..I am familiar with the Starbrite line as I have used the polish on both my boat and the RV...They have a super line of products. Be Safe

On second thought I have a bottle of Starbrite Deck Cleaner. Wonder how that would work? I'll try it and let you know.

I have used MR. Clean Scrubbing pads with soap and water and it seems to work also. I have also usedthese pads on my roof for the white caluking areas and it makes it look brand new. This alows me to check on the sealant condition.
