HELP! Grease on the headliner!

ACK! The mechanic at the dealer accidentally put his hand on the headliner in my car for some unknown reason and I there are 3 grease stains! Any recommendations on getting these out without wrecking the headliner? I don't want to have the dealer guys do it since they will most likely stain it or discolor it. Any help is appreciated.

I also have run into that problem and was able to get rid of it with Zep carpet cleaner. Be careful though. Make sure to test it out on a small spot first.

Thanks! Is this the same ZEP that Home Depot has on the shelves?

Re: HELP! Grease on the headliner!

I used to do reverse engineering on competitive products when I worked for a household cleaning product company (11 years worth). Included in there was a vast array of carpet cleaners, on the order of 40 complete product breakdowns. Each time any product came out that was new, improved or had a label change of any kind, we would analyze it again to stay current. There was also extensive performance analysis on a variety of stains including oils, foods, blood, common dirts, grass, pet soils, and some of our own laboratory stain mixtures.

As a result, the carpet/fabric cleaning product I use now for grease and oil stains is "Stain Extinguisher". One week after I bought my G there was a nasty oil-based stain on the passenger floor mat. I had the car washed, and the attendant said he shampooed it but it was still there. Two treatments of Stain Extinguisher and it was gone.

Be sure to use it as directed.
