Default Need help.... Coffee + headliner

Not sure how the two met but I have coffee on my light colored headliner and I don't want to smear it all over. It looks like little splatters so it's not huge drops. Any advice before I start running a rag over the droplets?

Thanks

I have had success by spraying folex on a cotton rag and blotting the stain. do not rub it.

if you do create a clean spot, then just clean the entire headliner. It doesn't look dirty, but it is. Like LS430Fl says, just spray folex (easy to get at Home Depot) onto a terry cloth (rougher than a microfibre) and go in one direction.

You don't want to get the liner too wet or you risk delamination. Nobody likes a saggy headliner....

Went out there with all my tools and the spots are gone. I think the dealer took care of it when I brought it in for an oil change.

Thanks for the replies.
