I use 303 spot cleaner. I diluted solution of woolite and warm water mixed 6:1 would also work. The key is to rub gently and to remove as much cleaning solution as possible so you don't get water rings on the headliner which would be worse than the black marks

Diluted woolite. Use LITTLE as possible, and don't spend too long rubbing one concentrated area. It'll "fuzz" up and it'll bother you forever.

Same thing here. I just spray My woolite onto a warm damp terry cloth towel and rub with light pressure and then use another warm damp terry cloth to blot the solution and stain out.

i work in a body shop and previously detailed cars for along time, I have always found it easiest to get a clean rag and put a little laquer thinner on it and rub out stain in a circular motion. thinner evaporates fast so u wont get a water ring and since its not too wet u have no chance of having any sag issues due to glue sepparation. i know it sounds crazy but trust me ive done it for years and its fast and easy just make sure u have time to air out car as it will smell for about an hour
