Menzerna Polishing Compounds of Germany has set new standards for workability, uniformity, performance, and quality. Why else would Mercedes Benz use Menzerna polishes to perfect the finishes on their brand new vehicles?

Best Fabric Cleaner

I am looking for the best fabric cleaner on the face of the planet. The nts7 fabric cleaner worked great on the carpet, but 2 stains reappeared on the seat after I applied 303 fabric guard. I want to try to get the stain from the seat and a small spot on a headliner. I would think the headliner would require something gentle. Any suggestions will help.

Re: Best Fabric Cleaner

Well, i use 303 apc, its not very strong, and im sure its not the best, it doesnt really clean all that well, the only reason i use it is because its safe on everything that you can use water on. Just a suggestion, some one will probably chime in with a better recommendation.

Another vote for 303. Woolite, Folex, Oxo Cleaner

Re: Best Fabric Cleaner

Folex hands down for everyday cleaning cleaning.
Meguiar's Detailer line APC for heavy cleaning.
Woolite (20:1) for light cleaning.

but instead of APC, I like Megs APC+ (orange). It doesn't foam up on you.

Re: Best Fabric Cleaner

Folex is too strong for my taste for everyday cleaning

I always start out with the least invasive method on fabrics (same concenpt as paint)

I actually have Zep carpet cleaning solotion for extractors in three bottles with different dilution rations from weak to strong.. I add some woolite in the mix as well (I like the scent).

If the strongest of the above mentioned does not work I reach for folex (which is substantially more expensive than the Zep).

For headliners I use woolite/water mix.. I lightly spray the headliner and wipe with MF... If the headliner is a sensitive material I will bolt and not wipe as to avoid damage

Re: Best Fabric Cleaner

303, Woolite, Folex here too.
I'd just try to spot clean the stain in the headliner. Spritz your cleaner on a damp (not wet) MF and lightly rub out stain.

I cut Folex 4:1 for everyday cleaning.
Forgot to post that.

Re: Best Fabric Cleaner

I like using and also have good results with ## Fabric Clean. It has gotten bad coffee and grease stains out of my car mats.

Re: Best Fabric Cleaner

I typically use Folex for carpets and Woolite for headliners. Wolfgang Spot Remover is great too.
