    Default Best way to clean headliner?

    Hey guys, what's the best fabric cleaner to clean the headliner inside the car? I never really noticed how dirty it was before, and it could use a cleaning. So what do you guys use to clean yours?

    Get this stough:



    BUT DON'T USE THE SCRUBBER ON THE CAN.

    Spray the dirty spot and let it sit for a minutish...then with the headliner use either like a soft small brush(think soft toothbrush) or your hands.

    Vacuum the wet spot(that's what she said) and bam.

    Clean.

    So clean you'll do the whole headliner

    Just remember, upholstery first, glass last.

    That stough is a miracle in a can. When I used to delivery pizzas...like...a long time ago in a galaxy far far away I used to use it to clean up week old grease stains.

    Use it on anything that is upholstered...except the recaros and LNF seats(suede)

    I suggest a bathroom scrub brush for the actual scrubbing(for like floor mats and interior rug), because the one on the can sucks major ass.

    Also another secret to keep your plastic looking new is dessicant bags.



    There's a reason my car inside looks brand new still.

    The A/C system works really well but builds A TON of condensation up inside the car...even get in it after a heavy rain and smell it?

    Yeah...dessicant bags in the trunk are where it's at.

    dessicant bags help remove moisture....

    in all honesty the best way to clean it is take it out, get some cheapo cleaner called tuff stuff......spray it a few times and let it soak aggitate with a soft bristle brush(A CLEAN ONE) and do that 2 - 3 times while spraying inbetween. .... then take a light pressure washer and pressure wash it top to bottom.... end of story...hang it up let it dry a few days and it will be clean and far less labor intensive then cleaning upside down. it will look brand new too.
