Interior A/B/C Pillar Cover Cleaning?
I have kicked myself repeatedly for not ponying up the extra dough for the anthracite headliner. It should be a no-brainer for anyone who autocrosses and changes tires.
Anyway, I've kept my headliner clean, but I have a smudge from tire contact on my interior C pillar cover, and dirty/greasy fingerprints on my passenger side A pillar cover. Is there a magic bullet for cleaning up messes like these?
Thank you

Griot's Interior Cleaner works great on the headliner and the plastic surfaces  |

Sure..how about putting covers or bags over the tires before loading them up? Or transport them outside of the MINI using a cargo carrier or trailer? Other than that, you'll need a degreaser type of product. Most any All Purpose Cleaner should work.

303 Upholstery Cleaner (or 303 Fabric Cleaner- same thing) has never let me down no matter how greasy or nasty a spot is.

The tire mark on the C pillar cover was due to a moment of carelessness when loading a set of unmounted tires that I had had delivered to my office while I was away on vacation. I use tire totes for my autocross tires, and I carefully place them in the back seat.
The dirty/greasy fingerprints on the A pillar cover is of greater concern. I'll give Griot's or 303 a shot based on the multiple recomendations.
Thanks
