Anyone have an idea on how to clean the headliner without leaving a moisture ring (see picture). I have tried CarGuys Super Cleaner and Hi-Tech Extra Foamy as both were recommended, but I still get the stain. Anyone have a better idea? Thanks.

This has worked for me in the past to get makeup and dirt off the headliner and the sun visors as they are touched the most. Just soak a clean towel and blot to remove stains turning the towel or rag to a clean area with each blot. You'll lift the stain out and it won't leave any residue or stains like in the picture. Don't rub.
I thought it was beer which would make the stain worse

Born and raised in Milwaukee, the first time I saw that reference was as a Corvette owner decades ago and thought, what the hell those boys knew what they were talking about......I thought it was beer which would make the stain worse

@hcdavis3 yes, but if you "apply" enough of it, you will no longer care
You could try distilled water only and see if it will re-soak the area and get rid of the residue ring.
The option I usually employ which won't work (well it could but would be a ton of work) is to soak the entire liner with a spray bottle of water so the edges bleed off to the side and aren't noticeable.

I tried blotting on isopropyl alcohol and that seemed to help, but it is not perfect. I do think the key is to blot and not rub. It is in the backseat, so I never see it.
I had that same water stain so I applied a little rubbing alcohol with a cloth. When the alcohol evaporated the water stain was gone. Now I use rubbing alcohol on a cloth to clean marks on the headliner.

I am about to try your method but before I do, can you please elaborate on this method? How much alcohol did you use per spot, and did you dab the entire area of the ring or just the edge of the ring?

I have some of these water stains trying to remove dirty service center prints.
