Interior Cleaning emergency!

Hi there, I just bought rims and tires for my ML 350 and unfortunately, had to put my old tires in the trunk, during the trip back the covering came off and the dirt and gunk from the tires rubbed up on the upholstery. im a newbie. but how can i remove this dirt and what can i use to effectively clean the "carpeted" interior of the car, the inner roof and sides. Please help!

I'm sure others will chime in, but for carpets, if you don't have an extractor, then try almost boiling water in conjunction with some Adam's carpet and upholstery cleaner with a firm brush.

Hot water and Folex, then scrub down. Never fails for me.
