What is the best cleaner to use on old vinyl?

Assuming you mean KF interior vinyl...I use Westley's Bleche White tire cleaner. Spray it on a damp (not wet) cloth and work it into the vinyl. Use a soft brush for the stubborn stuff. Wipe off with a wet cloth then once dry, follow up with Meguiar's #40.

**Make sure you try the tire cleaner in an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't spot. It's never happened to me but there's always a first time!

I have had great success with the "Tannery" aerosol vinyl and leather cleaner and conditioner.  It requires a lot of elbow work after application, it just keeps pulling out the dirt from the vinyl and it conditions the threads and vinyl also. for a headliner I have used the scrubbing bubbles foam cleaner, and with a soft brush it pulls out a lot of soil. Just my two cents worth.
