Air freshener damaged my visor
 About a week and half ago I bought one of those leaf air fresheners, pulled out an inch from the wrapper, and set it on my visor. A week later I pulled it off to expose another inch when I noticed that the oils had stained the visor and created an air bubble. Is there a way to remove the stain and air bubble or will I need a new visor? (Yes it bothers me)

Try some kinda interior cleaner to remove oils and then massage while gently heating with a blow dryer maybe?

I don't know if any cleaning products will really get rid of the stain, though I imagine you can use a straight razor blade or knife point to make a small hole in the material to clear the air bubble if it's actually full of air and not just warping of the material.
There are warnings on those air fresheners not to let them come in contact with interior surfaces for this exact reason. I found this using some Google Fu, and while it's not directly applicable to car interior surfaces (and the increasingly severe methods go well beyond what car interiors were meant to handle and remain intact) the first suggestion might end up working for you without risking damaging the material further. http://homeguides.sfgate.com/remove-...ile-31869.html

You're probably not going to be able to fix the warped area.
Once that happens, it's incredibly difficult to get it back to how it was. If you heat the area too much (enough to make it maleable) it'll change the look/texture.

Wait a bit before you buy a new one and see if it still bothers you after a week or two.
