Not sure if there is a product for the interior mate, but mine got flooded out about 2 months ago - stripped it and let it dry, then had it professionally steam cleaned to not only clean, but kill bacteria and mould (as they cause the smell and eat away the material over time). Gave it a hit with shampoo deodoriser (the spray on stuff) after that and all is good now. The electrics were simply a pull out, let dry and as you said, a hit with wd40 or similar and away you go (hopefully). My electric windows, door buttons for the interior lights and tail lights were most affected but are all good now.

All the best with it.
