For lack of knowing how the interior panels are plated or clear coated, I would recommend going easy on the abrasives when scrubbing down, so you don't damage them. If the plating / coating is thin, you could scrape right through it and end up creating a serious corrosion issue down the road.
An old cotton t-shirt and a mixture of bleach and water should be sufficient to clean it and shouldn't risk damaging the coatings/plating. For stubborn spots, a nylon bristle brush like those used to clean pots and pans should be sufficient. I would avoid abrasive cleaners like Ajax, comet, etc. and things like scotchbrite pads.
