Stain Removal Tips?

I purchased my E350 from my local car dealer in Orlando. It previously had one other owner besides me. For the most part the car is in pretty mint condition. However, after a month I've noticed what seems like Cheetos stains on the roof of the interior near the sun visor. I didn't want to take a bleach pen and use it on that material without knowing how it would affect it. Any tips on removing these kinds of stains?

Try some orange cleaner degreaser with a mirco fiber cloth from lowes or home depot.

Head on, apply directly to the forehead.

Another alternative to what was said above is you could always get a specialized interior cleaner from AMMO NYC or another detailing company. Make sure you don't get any part of the headliner too wet because you will end up separating the headliner from the roof, it is held on by what is essentially a glue that isn't water resistant.

Thanks for the feedback guys I'll try the degreaser and if that doesn't work my last resort is going to a specialized interior cleaner. Thanks again!

go to a mechanic shop or few, they usually have shop rags to clean their hands, its soaked in a mild detergent. Will clean your headliner with no damage usually come in a white plastic tub with a blue lid, with a hole on top to pull ne wet towels out.
