a lot of people have read the thread no one seems to feel like commenting so i will. i would guess you can use the same type of cleaner as you would on the seats but your best bet is to go to a autozone or something and ask them. either that or get some sort of per mice cleaner because the headliner feels like its made of rats furr

yeh, scotch guard doesn't work that well for some reason.

i think you actually have to soak it or something.

seats, same thing with the rag.

but you should take it to a detailer and have it shampooed.

it'll clean all the junk that's embedded on it.



yeh, i've been wanting a black suade ceiling as well. that or sandblasted aluminum ceiling.

What do you do to get your roof upholstery dirty? Mine is still as good as new. Unless your are 6'6" with soul glo in your hair there isn't any reason why it shouldn't be clean.

I have under 13k. I drive with the windows open as well, I hate driving with the AC. Loss of power. But there are times when you have no choice. Then again I don't drive through many dirt roads.
