    well, it depends on the surface, of course, and the type of stuff you're attacking.

    There's no real 'catch all' for every surface except warm water; I prefer to approach cleaning by kicking it up a notch only when weak stuff fails to clean it. But I'm gonna assume you tried that already. ;p

    From there I move up to a super weak dilution of the Oxyclean for anything thats organic. For anything else I move to a super super weak dilution of a degreaser, like 409 Pro or Purplestuff. I mean even weaker than the glass cleaning dilution.

    If its carpet/upholstry, the Blue coral is okay, but I like Resolve alot myself. The key with any cleaning approach I also feel is to rinse it off, wether you're actually spraying fresh water, or just blotting with a damp towel. Leave as little cleaner residue as possible.

    Woolite is also worth a shot. I got some coffee stains out of my seat with it.

    It was recommended to me by a guy who does detailing for a living.

    I have found that a tooth brush works well for cleaning around the trim. It gets all the dust and crap out of the cracks, and then I armor all everything.

    tuff stuff for me - works even with bicycle chain oil stains (in my book thats quite good)

    Beofre you use it try put an ice cube on the stain and wipe with cotton towel first

    I like the blue coral, it works pretty good and smells nice and fresh afterwards. Then again I have bugeye interior not STi. On a side note, if anybody doesn't like their STi interior and want to trade for mine I'm down ;).
