It may be kinda a dumb question but hey, I gotta know haha. Not sure what the stain is, I'm thinking it's like grease or something. Basically, a 6" stain on the inside of my car. Where the sunroof should be and so on. What I'm asking is what do you guys use to remove these sort of stains? (I've seen a lot on TV but yeah, I don't trust the media as much)

what type of stain, what material is't on?

 

The typical material used on the roof, I'm not sure specifically what it is called, but it isn't leather. It looks like just regular cloth or something. I'm not sure exactly.

 

You'd be suprized what kind of stains simple green gets out. I actually wash any clothes I get oil, grease, dirt, or any car fluids on with half a cup of simple green.

 

If it is cloth, I say take a brush, even a tooth brush would work, and something like simple green and scrub it. I use **** from my work to clean stuff, they don't sell it in stores, but I say check your local car supply store for interior cleaners.

 

Be careful with how you remove the stain and how wet you get your headliner. The glue they use to hold it up is water-soluable.

 

Ah, ouch. I'll be careful, I love these forums :] really helpful. I'll go out looking around for some simple green. Any specific one I should get? Black bottle? green bottle?

 

Automotive concentrate. Mix it 3:1 green + water for stain removal.

 

Yo thanks man, I appreciate all the help. :] I'll go sometime this week. I'll keep you updated when I test it.



Hoping that works :]

or I may get this while I'm at it



It seems my friends dad has some, ;] I'm sure he won't mind me asking for a cup of simple green

 

wtf? simple green isn't green anymore? what the world has come to.

 

That is what I was wondering. LOL!

Be gentle with the headliner, seriously that "cloth" material is very thing....

 

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM I SPRAYED THIS STUFF CALLED GREASE LIGHTNING ON A TOWEL AND SCRUBED THE STAIN AND IT CAME OUT

I'm aware that the "cloth" no idea what it is, is very thin. I'll just use a tiny toothbrush and wash it. (Hopefully I wont screw it up )

Alright, I bought some simple green yesterday at smart & final. HUGE box it said "SIMPLE GREEN" it was A HUGE ile with nothing but it. I applied it t the stain. IT WENT AWAY. It's just the glue went off =[ sadly. It's still in good condition though. All the stains went away except this permantent marker on the side of my dash. But dang, Simple Green really works, you pour it in a bucket of water mix it up, and apply it. Poof, it goes away. It didn't really work on plastic, it worked real well on the actual cloth. What those guys said earlier, be careful the glue is like really sensitive. I'm not sure how to even apply it without messing up the glue. YES, I used a toothbrush.

 

You can get headliner glue at an autoparts store. Just very very very very carefully pull away the closest corner to the stain, and peel it away till you get to where the stain was.

Then, reglue the are you removed, and tack it back up.

 

Haha, that's a lot of work, the stains went away just fine. You can't really notice them til you really look at it. It's just theres writing on the dashboard and it won't go away. (Sharpies :[)

 

Rubbing alcohol usually takes sharpies off my desk and whatnot, but then again, my desk isn't porous vinyl.
