Theres this stuff called Crazy Clean. It comes in a red & white can. You can get it at Berg Fargo Motor auto parts store over by Wheels) Its about $3 or $4. Its an all purpose cleaner that is gentle on all surfaces & works really well! You just spray on a nice mist and wipe the area a few times with a clean rag. I detail with it all the time!

I have cleaned 100's of head liners and NOT once have we had to remove the headliner to clean it.. The best way for a diy'er is to buy some foam cleaner and spray it up there and use a damp rag and rub it clean .. or pay a detail shop to clean it wit the right tools.

PS misterCMK ur a moron :icon_thumright:

Just go to a detail shop and ask them to clean the ceiling. Theyll charge you 20 bucks maybe

Try takin a little carpet cleaner, and if you can get ahold of a steamer or extractor, have at it.

yeah yeah thats what i meant!

yeah the headliner is grey....its not really a fabric either...its more of a stitched material....i scrubbed it with dish soap and warm water for awhile...it cleaned some up but mostly spread it out and made it a lighter color...i guess i'll keep working on it.

I would ask kevin about this as well. one other thing i have done on really light colors is a light mix of peroxide, about 30%, and water, and spray it on the cloth with a spray bottle. this will bleach out many dark colors, and is the best way to remove blood as well. but make sure you test any method out in a hidden area before going on with it, and wait 2-3 min to make sure it doesnt bleach the fabric out too far.
