Suggestions for headliner and seat cleaning supplies?

[RexRemus]

So... had my first service appt. Mostly everything went well. All complaints seem to have been addressed however the service techs left me a few unexpected gifts... namely greasy/dirty fingerprints along the interior A-pillar headliner material, the drivers side armrest and console armrests, and leaving the drivers-side seat filthy and dirty.

I have OC interior so... everything VERY much shows. I was rushed getting out of the service center so didn't catch everything when I was there before I left and only realized how bad it was when I got home.

So what cleaners can people suggest to try and get this interior cleaned up? This is my first light interior on any vehicle, and while I'm less worried about the seats and armrests, the fabric for the a-pillar/headliner has me a little worried about how to clean it.

Suggestions?

P&S Xpress Interior Cleaner, diluted 1:1 with distilled or RO water only. Apply with a clean lint-free microfiber towel onto any interior surface, excluding wood trim.

You can agitate areas with an soft bristle interior detailing brush, for hard to reach areas, or to exfoliate a stain from within door panels and cards and other upholstery.

I've also had issues with RSCs leaving my OC interior looking like a coal miner took a hot lap in the car. The above solution has always removed any dirt, grime or stain I've found on the upholstery and other surface textures.

I used amorall wipes that I bought from target and it picked up the gunk on the pleather and headliner with minor scrubbing

Second for P&S Xpress interior. Could also use their swift wipe or DIY detail clean & protect if you want to leave some ceramic protection behind

Any preferred place to buy? I always worry about getting a scam product off amazon

CARPRO Inside with a couple of detailing brushes and microfiber towels. That’s how I keep my steering wheel from getting greasy and shiny, and it works well on alcantara and plastic surfaces. Dries matte and streak free.
Out of Spec Detailing did a video a year-or-so ago demonstrating it on a steering wheel. I’ve been hooked ever since.

Most car detailing companies sell directly from their websites online, you just have to pay shipping

Someone in another thread recommended Folex Carpet Spot Remover. I used it on my OC interior to get greasy hand prints (from delivery) off the pillars and headliner. It worked great. Looks like new.

Car Guys Super Cleaner from Amazon. Best stuff I have used. I have OC and it cleans it like new - apply and wipe.

Here is what they say - " Super Clean any Surface! – This multi surface product works on absolutely every interior or exterior surface except glass and delicate instrument panel screens! That means this ONE PRODUCT will clean upholstery , fabric , canvas , leather , vinyl , plastic , rubber , bird poop , grease , tree sap , metals , wood trim and so much more!

I used it on seats, console, steering wheel, door arm rests, dash, etc. Have not yet tried it on the headliner or upholstery. Very pleased so far.

Going off a recommendation from someone else, I've had good luck with these products:

Funny how with my old truck, my garage shelves were covered with bottles of things like gear oil, transmission fluid, and oil changing equipment. And now with the Riv they're covered with cleaning supplies. Just changed from one type of cluttered mess to another, LOL. ?

Rivian mobile service tech got a greasy finger print onto the trim around the roof glass working on the rear lift gate.

He had a can of "Sprayway" ammonia free glass cleaner and sprayed onto a rag, then wiped it clean easily and completely. When I asked, he said this stuff works the best if you get it off right away,
