Person in backseat had a can of pepsi spray my headliner (spots everywhere). What can I use to clean this? I was thinking some kind of foaming cleaner, but not exactly sure....any ideas?

 

i used simple green...worked great. remember to always test a small section before you do it all..

 

you could replace the headliner with red suede...

oh and someone want to move this thread to the 'show and shine' section?

 

You may have to get a new headliner. Dark stains usually don't come out of light colored, textured material. I feel your pain.

 

update? did anything u used work or not?

 

Anybody know how much it costs to replace the headliner.

 

Try Autoglym Interior Car Shampoo can be found on http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ag-3500.html

 

if you need to replace it.. do it yourself and use a diff material.. you'll save money and have a custom job. it's not that hard..just takes a little cutting, glue, and patience.

 

I would try some type of carpet or upolstry sp cleaner. Some like scotchgard.

 

For food stains use an oxygen or peroxide based cleaner - doesn't do squat on grease, but works wonders on organic (food) stains. There are a number of them out there. Go to Home Depot and look at their carpet cleaners...for overhead work get a foamy one like Prosolve...

 

I have the same problem!! Except different. I brought my 8 in for the 5000 mile maintanence thing and when I got it back, there was a black spot on the headliner in two places. Almost looks like grease or something of the sort...I was thinking of replacing the headliner with Burberry

 

bump...

anyone have any other suggestions. i'd had to pick up any kind of carpet cleaner. if there's a particular method to clean it, let me know. i think my stains are from champagne and mud.

 

Or black suede.

 

Think about it. Back seat. Champagne. Party.

Next time make sure she takes her shoes off first

 

dont just spray all/multi purpose cleaners in the interior or anywhere else. in the interior i recommend you to dilute the multi purpose clean 1 parts cleaner and 4 parts water in a spray bottle and mix it before spraying. after you spray the 1 or 2 sq ft spot scrub it... and scrub... and scrub... scrub till the stains are gone. then wipe it over with a damp clean cloth and vacuum it dry with a shop vac if you have one. and repeat untill youre finished. you can also use mpc/apc on leather and plastic areas too but make sure you dilute it more (1 part solution 5 parts water or 1/6). on carpet you dont have to dilute it much. also make sure its APC/MPC for autos, dont just go grab some tilex and spray it. costco's multipurpose cleaner works well too.

 

Try a pencil eraser. It worked on some interior fabric stains I had near the sun visor.

 

The MAGUYVER CAR CARE KIT : (WD-40, #2 Pencil eraser, peanutbutter, vinegar and toothbrush)
Take Maguyvers kit with you and there is nothing that you can't handle.

 

if all else fails, try brake cleaner. but be sure to test it first on a hidden area. that stuff takes out anything

 

.......

 

God damnit now I have peanut butter all over my roof.

 

I have some grease and dirt stains on my headliner, what would be the best for that?
