| Headliner got dirty from possibly grease
Hi everybody,I am a total newbe to this forum.
I had my sunroofs tube secured because of noise and the dealer in Scottsdale also lubed the sunroof a few months ago.
I noticed a couple of days after I got the car and I was already way south by the Border in the country in very dusty conditions that I had a couple of lines on the sunroofs headliner that looked that they could be a little bit of grease from the lube job they did.
As the time kept on going by doing a lot of off road driving everyday in dusty conditions the dirty markings keep on getting more pronounced.
The whole headliner looks new and clean everywhere else even though the interior has been exposed to a lot of dust before many times over and over.
Any pointers how to try to remove these spots with out making it worse will be greatly appreciated.
Mario

Try a carpet spot cleaning product called: "Spot Shot". It's an aerosol. Spray it on the soil and blot t up with a clean absorbent rag. Do this sparingly, as the solvent in Spot Shot is pretty strong; and it could cause the surface fabric to de-bond from the backing. |

Thanks Dutch I am going to try it as prescribed
My only worry is if it is grease if it will not come off so I never touched it yet so I do not mess things up. |
