Headliner Cleaning

So, Has there been a definitive answer on how to clean the headliner? Mines getting pretty dirty from having the windows and sunroof open, especially at the b-pillar. And No keeping the windows closed is not a solution.

I would guess 303 Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner but I haven't tried it on the headliner.

Bump.

thanks, jwardell. But i want to find something that is headliner safe.


Anyone figured out hot to clean the headliner succesfully? I really need to clean it. It's looking like cr@p up there. And keeping the window closed is not a solution.

I used Griot's Interior Cleaner on the headliner of my old car and it took out EVERYTHING, like 5 years of crap. However, that was with a spot-cleaning method. I sprayed some on a MF towel and went after fingerprints and other spots and they came right out.

Thanks for the responses. I'll give both a shot. I've got almost 4 years of open window motoring up there. I hope I can get it out.
