cleaing upholstery

Bought in car to my dealer for service and there's a spot on the my roof upholstery. Looks like grease or oil. I don't want to smudge it but can you tell me what I can use to clean it off?

buy some folex from walmart/target/lowes/HomeDepot, It will basically get anything out of fabric or carpet.

Many different products can work to remove the mark. I've had especially good success with removing grease using the 303 Cleaner and Spot Remover. It cuts through grease really well and most other contaminates. I use it on carpets, head liner, dashboard, doors and much more. Spray the area thoroughly and let it sit for 1 - 2 minutes. Then take a clean cloth and firmly press it upward several different times using a different part of the cloth each time, as not to spread the grease. After you have removed the majority of the grease using this method, now respray the area with the cleaner and lightly brush it with a clean scrub brush. After you can wipe the area again with the cloth just to make sure you have totally removed all the grease. This is my preferred method to remove grease or other stains that have the potential to spread and leave an even worse mark. Let me know if you have any questions about this method or the products I recommended. Good luck with it and let us know how it comes out.
