Default Fabric stain

I don't know what its called but on the inside of the car the parts on the sides of the front window that are covered in a fabric / cloth / velvety kinda stuff has a scuff. Its about a half inch long and is dark and can't be cleaned. Its a 08 with like 200 miles on it and I have to look at the scuff everytime I get in the car.

Is there a dye I can put on the scuff mark??

Thanks for any help.

Joe

great minds think alike

I've been pretty lucky using woolite+water mix cleaning the headliners..

I've cleaned mine and came out amazing and I just did a bmw 325i today that came specifically for a headliner cleaning and some scratch removal and it came out clean also.

are headliners the fabric cloth that lines the ceiling interior of the car? if so, woolite mixed with some water is good, eh?

Correct! I think mine is 4:1 Ratio. 4 parts water to 1 part woolite.
