Decosol equivalent
Hi All,
What does everyone use to clean years of grime off vinyl now that Decosol isn’t made?
Thanks
Alan

Or go cheap with magic sponge.

Hehe, I remember using Decosol on my Traveller's interior years ago (back in the late 1980s). Orangey jelly-like gloop, that did actually work very well.
I've recently used Autosmart trim cleaner (cream liquid), which works quite nicely.

Autoglym caravan and motorhome cleaner is excellent for vinyl, works wonders on dirty wheels too

I have had success with “Flash” (or supermarket own brand equivalent) and a scrubbing brush. I’m sure saddle soap would work well too.

I can confirm that ‘Tuff Stuff’ is excellent. Thanks for the recommendations.

Re: Decosol equivalent
These are all excellent suggestions to which I can add that old Pound shop favourite 'Stardrops with Ammonia' (cloudy stuff). But I must lament the demise of Decosol. It was a fantastic product.
Messin' with Morris (and Austin) for half a century!

Elbow Grease is just the stuff. Used this on upholstery, carpets and loads of other stuff. Cheap and environmentally good. https://groceries.asda.com/product/kitc ... 20Products

Out of stock, but I use this (the bottle has lasted many, many years), it works well if you leave it on for a bit, agitate and clean off.
I had seats that were filthy due to grime, they were second hand, and it really worked great, without damaging anything (a worry when it comes to original duotone).
The downside of the stuff is, it smells like rotting fish
