Wanted to see if anyone had a recomendation on what to use to clean dirt spots on the headliner fabric. I am specifically targeting the fabric that wraps around the The A pillar Just got my car back from the dealer and noticed that they left dirt marks on the both A pillar interior trim pieces during the service visit. I have the standard trim fabric (not the optional alcantara headliner)

Thanks in advance for any advice that will help me safely clean this fabric.

I use 5 min detailer it works well and does not release the glue that holds the fabric on

If I am wrong please tell me now

Magic eraser works pretty well with stains that haven't set in.

I've seen it mentioned on here to use carpet cleaner, the kind you can find at kragen or pep boys. That's what I used and it worked perfectly fine on my tan headliner, left no discoloration and got rid of the black, dirty marks.
