Cleaning headliner and visors etc.
« on: 15 November 2011, 07:36 »
I must never look up!!! The headliner, visors etc are real filthy, grub, dirt, oil, make up?????? And even a footprint!!!!! Lol :laugh:

Question is, what is the best way to clean these and what is the best product to use?

Thanks in advance

headlining - spray with a 10:1 diluted mix of APC (eg. Autosmart G101), lightly agitate with a nail brush if necessary, taking care not to pull the thread of the headlining or make it 'furry',  don't oversoak the headlining, a 'misting' usually does it.. once the area to be cleaned has been agitated then wipe down with a clean microfibre cloth. work in smallish sections.. on a standard golf sized headlining: front, middle and back both left and right is about the right size (six sections)
