Just wanted to share what I've found. I had some nasty black ash/soot stains on my beige upholstered passenger seat. It was some black stuff from a BBQ place that got stuck to my friends pants. Well he sat in my car and rubbed in the black stuff without knowing it. Anyway, I grabbed a can of this stuff off my work bench (don't even remember buying it) thinking it was shampoo, it's not. It's more like a dry-cleaner chemical spray with a nice smell. I sprayed it on the spot, rubbed with a clean microfiber cloth and the stain was gone in less than 10 seconds. Really good stuff.

Good job Mark. Thanks for sharing.
