      The only one I would even think of trying is the window cleaner..

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

          These are good tips (of course your car will smell like a dill pickle).

            Yes. Several of them. Vinegar is an excellent universal cleaner and very safe on most all surfaces.
