Since I got the car, I've noticed some dodgy brown stains on the roof material. It looks like oil from when a careless mechanic has been at it in the past.
Any suggestions to some aggressive cleaning foam guys?

Re: Interior Cleaning
Sounds silly but try baby wipes. Not expensive ones just the cheap supermarket brand. Also good for wiping down the dash etc
Re: Interior Cleaning
Try Autoglym Interior Cleaner spray gently agitate with a clean microfibre and remove with another microfibre and warm water.
Re: Interior Cleaning
Or a decent all purpose cleaner should shift oil, failing that a dedicated interior cleaner. But use a microfibre cloth and not a brush to agitate as it'll mess up the fibres on the head lining .
Re: Interior Cleaning
Trade wipes,
Get them at Screwfix or tool station they remove most things

Re: Interior Cleaning
Ordered some of this. Meant to be amazing for oil and other stains, and foamy so won't drip.

I've also got baby wipes in the porn room so can use some of them

clean white cloth or cotton bud, dampen with hot water and see if it leeches stain. only blot the stain tho....
IF no joy then using same method start with soap then if available. traffic film remover, then a mild bleach surface cleaner..DO NOT RUB THE STAIN..
If no joy then a steam cleaner will deffo work, but be prepared to do all the headlining !
I prep cars for resale and still cringe at doin headlining.
just use min effort & chemicals, keep it dry as poss AND DO NOT RUB !
