Cleaning Headliner
Anyone have any tips for cleaning their headliner?
It looks like the car wash guy put his grubby hands on my headliner - right up on the Driver's side, where the headliner starts to meet the window.
The marks are noticable and fairly dark colored. I saw some on the other side too but sort of rubbed it and they went away. The marks on the driver side are a little more persistent and I didn't want to dry rub too much and grind it in.
Any tips on what I could use to clean it?
Also I am using Zaino for the first time this weekend....this is a dumb question but the instructions in the boxed kit I bought are a little confusing. He almost seems to suggest using the claybar FIRST before washing but I can't see how that makes sense. Others imply that you should wash first with Dawn and then Claybar....is that correct?

Quick Zaino process:
Wash car with Dawn. Dry well. Claybar. Wash again with Z7. Dry well. Mix 1 ounce Z2 with 4 drops of ZFX. Apply to car. Wipe off. Get a nice mister and mist Z6 over the car. Wipe off as you go (dont let it dry). Shazam! Thats 1 Zaino layer on a perfectly clean car. Now repeat the Z2/Z6 process every 3 weeks if your **** about it (or if you wanna go for broke, you can do up to 3 layers a day. Note that the first time process ussually ends up taking 4-6 hours depending on how quick you get used to the Zaino. Remember, 1 ounce is more than enough for the whole car. It goes on REAL thin.
