A Tiny Vent for all you neat freaks!

My fit is 2 days old... I look up at the celing to notice a greasy looking smudge!!!!

WTF! I just bought the daggum thing! I took the car back to the car lot to examine AND there is swirl marks that I am making them buff out..

The smudge makes me Uber pissie.

I had a similar situation with my former vehicle. Try Aerospace 303 Carpet Cleaner and Spot Remover, worked great for me:

303 Spot Remover, Carpet Upholstery Cleaner 32 oz

Had the same thing years ago when we got our 02 4Runner. Sales guy went and got some Afta and a rag, came right off 1-2-3. Sold me on the stuff, went right to Home Depot and bought a can of the stuff, use it all the time now.

I went to a friends house to show him my new 1 week after I just bought it. I parked and went inside because I needed to use the restroom. I finished just in time to walk back out the front door and see his neighbor start his riding mower up right next to my car!!! We both yelled at him like WTF are you doing!!!! End result: 4 tiny paint chips due to flying debris...

+2 on the carpet cleaner, just spray a little on and let it soak for a few minutes and blot the spot, don't wipe it! you'll smear the grease in that way...

303 cleaner and, for that matter, their entire product line are the most respected interior care products out there. 303 upholstery protectant can prevent such events although even I, nut that I may be, haven't treated my headliner.
