I had my seat repaired in October and while that was being done, the door panel was cleaned with a product called Whip-It (as seen on TV). The solution was mixed at an 8:1 ratio and then applied to the arm rest area. He said that the dirt came right off and then he dried it with a heat gun to speed up the process. I have attached an after picture for your viewing pleasure...

 Hmm... having one of those "duh" moments.... why in the heck didn't I think of using a heat gun/hair dryer to hasten the drying process!? That's brilliant!

Bringing this back from the dead... tried these exact steps today (using woolite) and it worked like magic. I didn't have the same amount of nastiness all over the surface as the OP did but my alcantara was definitely black near the door handle from repeated opening/closing of the door. Using only one "cycle" of scrubbing with water, woolite solution and then water again to rinse it cleaned everything perfectly. Instead of using a heat gun or hair dryer I used a dry cloth to get out any excess moisture and then left the doors open to sit in the sun for ~10 mins. Awesome write up thanks!
