Best product to remove headliner stain?
So to my dismay, I discovered today that my 3rd brake light (on the top rear of the cab) has been leaking.

Might be hard to see in the pic, but there is a definite brownish water mark extending about 6” from either side of my dome light. ![Mad](https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/images/smilies/mad.png)
I have already ordered a replacement gasket, but now I need to ask:
What are some products/methods I can use to remove this damn stain?

Wish I could help but I'm definitely not an upholstery guy.

Yes sir, John. Me either.
And I'm not touching this until I get a few opinions.

Brush vacuum the entire headliner. Then Folex all stains.

Vacuum? I presume to draw out the moisture, Paulie?

Yup. And to clean up the entire headliner too.
Folex is so good at stain removal it will be noticeable after as a clean spot after.

I've never tried Folex, maybe I need to give it a shot. I've always had great results with an orange citrus cleaner and then hit the stain with my steam cleaner and wipe with a clean microfiber. If you don't have a steam cleaner, look into the McCulluch, not expensive at all, best investment I have made in detailing products.
