Default Headliner / visor cleaner?

Can anyone recommend a product/process to clean what looks like dirty hand smudges off of my headliner and visor (2015 NX)? The headliner material seems to be some kind of textures cardboard or plastic and seems delicate. The visor looks easier, but I don't want to use the wrong product on my leased vehicle!

The manual doesn't really address the issue.

Too clean any interior (cloth, leather, headliner) you should use Frank's Special Cleaner from ProWax.

Mix the concentrate in a spray bottle and apply to the affected areas and wipe up with a damp chamois. 90-100% of all the dirt will come out.

To remove tough and stubborn stains you should use the Stain Extinguisher from Chem Dry

Trust me, if this won't remove a stain it's not coming out. Spray directly on the affected area and for leather spray the rag then work the stain with the rag dampened with the cleaner.

Mr. Clean magic eraser with warm water using strokes back to front, back to front. I use it on all my cars. Its ones of those old tricks I came across on a detailing forum years ago. No need to spend money on expensive over rated products.

My gf was doing make up as we drove, safe to say the last time she does it as the car is moving, had ***** all over visors and roof, used ArmorAll cleaning wipes followed by plain bounty and everything looks clean and smells good, costs like $3
