Please help how do I remove this

[Bear Head]

Right. My dad's just bought a new motor and it needs a proper clean. This stain is on the headlining and the car stinks of smoke. I was wondering if this was smoke or oil or something and how the hell to remove it.

I don't have a wet vac, is this the only way? And how. Basic as possible. I'm decent on the paint, just not the interior!

Also to remove smokey smells, as @Daniel pointed me, would I be best to wash the headlining and the seats and use the odour bomb after that?

@Knuckles @gally

 

[Bear Head]

Said Mark. Think it's oil.

 

[BoatNonce]

Probably better to put this in the detailing forum. Looks mank though!

 

[Bear Head]

Yeah I have. Put it in the wrong section like a dick head didnt I haha.

 

[BoatNonce]

Just ask a mod to move it for you

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Moved to the detailing section for you mate

Wet vac and some apc. Where are you based?

 

[Knuckles]

Jesus. @Daniel is your ginger man


If you don't have access to a wet vac I'd try and remove the headlining then hit it with some apc and a softish nail brush.

That's grease from someone's disgusting unwashed hair.... Barf!!

You need to spray it with an all purpose cleaner. Or interior cleaner, and clean it with a damp microfibre that's been in boiling hot water and then wrung out.

I'm on my phone so can't link you to my mondeo thread but that was right up your street!!

You don't want to wet vac it. It's made if cardboard and crap glue. If it gets too wet it will be knackered.

Just trust me, I'm the don at cleaning mingers.

You're joking!?

That's horrid.

Nope. See it all the time.

Bear head, sniff the drivers seatbelt, I bet it's f**king minging!!

I hope that car was cheap!!

 

[BoatNonce]

I thought it had been on fire or something similar.

 

[Adamm.]

I first thought hair too but it looks bit close to the edge, who has there head there? My guess is that they often get in and drive the car with dirty oily hands. Look at sun visor too.

I'd definitely give the whole interior a good clean Daniel style. Disgusting.

 

[Daniel]

If it was dirty hands, there would be finger prints.
100% that's minging hair.

I am sure it's something like that.

Back story. My dad is mad keen on RX8's and has had some really stunning nyon show winners. He recently got shut of a stunning r3 but wanted another to heavily modify instead. He bought a car from a well known rotary rebuilder for £1600 that's in all round excellent condition. That mark though is f**king awful. He's going to run it till it busts and bridge the engine so he doesn't care how long it lasts ( we know a lot about the 8's so in before engine will blow up comments ).

Brings me to the mark. We had the interior swapped as was all black, to black and red. Thing is, the mark may have been from the mechanic having an oily head the mucky c**t or maybe not haha we don't know!

@Daniel, I trust you and if you says it's hair it will be! But this car has been smoked in it's f**king disgusting.

I'll read the mondeo thread mate

Marks are similar but I *think* it is oil. If it is, is it the same kind of process?

I have the autoglym interior shampoo. So I get a cloth in boiling water rung out and just spray the headlining with the interior shampoo, let it soak in then try wiping it off with the cloth?

 

[Bear Head]

Based at selby mate

Just to clarify daniel if it's oil what are the steps then? And how do I ensure not to leave watermarks etc? Oh and will wiping the lining not rub it in? I'm so new to this. I keep my interior so Immaculate I don't get in unless I'm in my best stuff and this thing is pretty f**king bad so it's hard hahahaha.

 

[Bear Head]

Just a reply on this, @Daniel was c**k on. Wiping the car with interior shampoo and a hot cloth got all the oil and muck off and the car is bloody immaculate now so my dad's dead happy

Never doubt me when it comes to cleaning cars.

Legend Mate. Got all the swirls and scratches out the paint. Got the interior cleansed and leather fed and back to a crisp colour took me a good 16 hours but worth it [emoji14]
