Headliner cleaning tips?
Hi Board.
I have an original headliber in great condition, but it has some age marks on it. It is an ivory colour and its looks almost as if there are water marks along the edges and wondered if there was some type of cleaner that I could use to freshen it up. Thanks as always for any tips! |

Strange, mine too. Maybe it's a common problem. Look forward to hearing any suggestions as well...

It must be from water getting into a poor glass seal from the front or rear glass.
I guess there likely is not a way to get it clean. I am hesitant to try household chemicals on it. |

Lexol makes a really good vinyl and leather cleaner. You can find it at leather shops. If memory serves me right, it comes in an orange container. Kinda of pricey, like $10 for 16 oz. But it did a good job of cleaning 23 years worth of crud from my headliner. And it doesn't smell bad.

Hello
Use Scrubs-in-a-bucket. Colorchanges can come from the used clue and high temp&humidity. Grüsse |
