If you want to really strip the crap/dirt/aged look from white interior/exterior vinyl, I use 3M general purpose adhesive remover
Word of caution, once you start you have to finish as it really whitens the surface, use ONLY CLEAN WHITE RAGS, make sure you only wipe the vinyl surface,do a small area at a time, change out for a fresh rag as often as possible, don't saturate the area, don't stay in one area too long, give the cleaner time to evaporate and the vinyl time to recover, touch noting else when cleaning as you might smear that color into the white grain, keep it away from painted/dyed surfaces...
All the other "whitening" products pale in comparison

We used to use spray 9 to clean vinyl seats, door panels etc. Pretty much spray and wipe right off with little effort. Doesn't hurt anything if it stays on longer.

I wonder if Simple Green would work well, I don't recall trying that. Simple Green is overrated, dish soap is a better product than SG

I tried several different cleaners on my convertible's white top over time and never had much success. Last year I had some work being done on it by a local Mopar shop, and he noticed the dirty top and asked if I wanted him to clean it for me. I said if it wouldn't take much time and run up my bill much more, go ahead. When I got the car back, the top looked like new! He said he used Westley's Bleach white, and a lot of water to rinse it off. Then after he was finished, he used a vinyl preservative like Mothers. I assume it would work equally well on interiors, though it would be best to remove the seats and do them out on the driveway or patio rather than while in the car.

I've used hand cleaner and fairly soft scrub brush with good results. I figured if it's safe for your hands then it should be safe for the seats. Someone recommended using GOOP brand hand cleaner on white interior cleaning, I haven't had the chance to try it though?

My friend had good luck with Meguiar's #39 Heavy Duty Vinyl cleaner followed up by the #40 Vinyl and Rubber Cleaner / conditioner
inherited a 69 roadrunner from my grand pop.
