    Interior fabric trim cleaning

    Hi.
    I am new to the forum. Aspiring to do some detailing as a hobby. I have a lot to learn both inside and outside the car given what I have seen on the forum. I had a go at my friends trim which had been left in the trunk along with some old brake rotors. Long story short, here is what it looked like before:







    After:

    Very happy with how it turned out. What I ended up using is a mix of Folex carpet cleaner to loosen what I could. Follow up Mr.Clean magic eraser. I scrubbed lightly as to not stain it to much and make this piece of trim a lot brighter then the rest of the car. After a good scrub with the eraser, I used one of those small Ikea kitchen brushes (they`re $1-or $2) to scrub at the stains. After ~15 min of scrubbing and letting it sit. I would wait for it to dry, re-apply magic eraser and scrub again.

    Pleased with the result

    Never thought of using the magic eraser on fabric. Good work!
