Default Cleaning Interior Plastic-What to use?

I am currently pulling out all my interior panels to give them a good cleanup. last owner used it as a truck and lets just say i want it a bit cleaner. so, i am looking to fill a bucket with water/ soft brush and a sponge....what cleaner would you guys recommend to add to the water to clean up well, and not ruin or discolor the plastic?

303 Protectant works really well. Actually has a high SPF, doesnt off-gas and wont make GM dashes de-laminate.

simple green diluted as stated on the bottle, pinkstuf, woolite, and those soft bug scrubbers they sell at autozone are the absolute best for cleaning, espec the brownish dead skin color on steering wheels and armrests...

I use 50/50 water and woolite and top it off with JW Satin Prot.

Woolite/water mix or Megs Quick Inerior Detailer both work well. I like Mothers protectant or Optimum protectant after everything is clean.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

I had used a mixture of orange blast that you can buy at wal mart, and mixed it to hot once before on another car, and it turns the plastic colors...so i wanted to try and keep from doing that again!
