If you had a black plastic, light colored fabric interior that had some tire scuffs and brake dust, what would you use to clean it? Asking for a friend with a not so happy wife. Thanks!

Yes, that stuff is awesome. Not sure I've tried your exact use case, but worth a try.

I bought some. Now waiting for the car to be available. We'll find out, but either way thanks for the tip!

I've had really great results with resolve carpet cleaner w/ oxy clean. YMMV

I highly recommend Gonzo Stain Remover.

We bought a small bottle (4 oz) at Bed Bath and Beyond years ago and it worked better than anything else we used. When it ran out, I bought a gallon on Amazon.

I haven't had any problems with it bleaching or staining fabrics, but obviously check before you get carried away with it....

I tired it a bit. Wi the garage and interior lighting, it's hard to tell which parts are dirty, which are shadows, etc. Shining a flashlight just blow it all out to look all clean. I tried it on a few places that I know were dirty, but going over it with a damp cloth after makes it look damp (like I'd expect). I'm going to have to wait to see it in sunlight, I think.

...going over it with a damp cloth....
Should've gone with the brush.

I did that, too, before the damp cloth
