cleaning the headlining advice?

Hi

I have no idea how it happened but this morning I noticed a black mark has appeared under the Jesus handle on the passenger side headlining. I think it is a greasy/carboned mechanic hand print as it was in the garage yesterday. I'm leaning towards carbon as it doesn't feel moist at all.

Anybody got any advice on how to clean it as it is a light grey colour and I could eaisly make it worse and just spread it around if I do it wrong.

Cheers

yes, same as for when cleaning the car mats & carpet. Use a little fabric detergent in warm water. Use either a soft brush to agitate the stain or dab a cloth that won't dye run.

It's the handle Above the door that the passenger grabs hold of while you are driving like a nutter. Normally accompanied by screams of " JESUS!!"

My cleaning advice would be go back to the offending garage and say "Clean my fucking headlining".

That was my first thought but I can't be 100% sure it was them.
