Default Dirt on cloth/fabric A-Pillar. How to remove? Any product recommendations?

There is some dirt and stains on my grey a-pillar cover. What's the best way to clean this?

Thanks,
Sam

Default What kind of dirt?

If it's not stained, I've had good luck with just a spray bottle of seltzer water (no sodium, CO2-charged water).

Looks like grease. Most likely a serious stain that isn't going to come out easily.

Default If it's grease, try this

I've used Brakleen in the red can (not the green) to remove SERIOUS bearing grease from dove grey velour seats. Never knew it was there. Test on area for color fastness first. Then, fold a paper towel and spray B on towel, apply and allow the towel to blot up the grease as it disolves. Eventually, you'll be able to prob spray the spot, and then blot. I have done this on carpet in the house and other fabrics with great success for grease. Because it's basically carbon tetrachloride, it leaves no residue, either.
Good luck!
