Cleaning interior black plastics

What should be used for cleaning interior black plastics like vent slats/backside of rear view mirror/radio buttons?

I would use a microfiber towel and something like a diluted all purpose cleaner (preferably something like Jax wax, chemical guys, meguiars) or you can use a trim specific cleaner/ restorer from the same companies (jax wax super blue is my choice, but I do Dilute it per instructions)

I use this on everything:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I didn't intend to use it on the interior, I grabbed it off the shelf in the garage by mistake. It worked so well that I now use it instead of the stuff I bought to clean the interior.

I keep it wiped down daily with a MF towel I keep in the door. I clean it with Adams Super VRT couple times a month, but something mild like 303 aerospace works very well.

Soft microfiber towel for dash, plastics, etc.

Meguiar's Quick Interior Detailer (if its not too dirty) and 303 Aerospace Protectant

For in between and around the buttons, radio, etc. I use a makeup brush (from Target or Walmart)
