I think of Back to Black as a restorer - if I'm not mistaken it has a dye in it and is really good at restoring black plastic that has faded from exposure (like exterior moldings and trim). I wouldn't use it on the interior of my brand new Saab. Your mileage may vary, of course.
It sounds like the problem is the texture. I've noticed that the plastic shows scuff marks really easily in my 2008. But so far I've been able to just wipe it off with a wet microfiber cloth. I don't have little children and don't allow eating in the car so there's nothing really sticky there (and so far I haven't even succumbed to having an open coffee cup... this car is too new!)
It sounds to me like what you need is a soft brush to get the crud out of the texture. I've been meaning to get a soft brush attachment for my shop vac for this reason. If it is oil based crud I'd just use some soap. Maybe even Formula 401 or Windex, although those make me a little nervous. I cleaned the "chrome" off the painted bits of a 70s GM crap interior one time as a kid - I thought they were real metal. It left scars.
