Post My headliner was disgusting (I cleaned it with carpet cleaner)

Well yesterday I washed her and today I cleaned the interior. Now, I LOVE driving with the windows down. I do not smoke in my car. I do have sex in it occasionally.

I was going to clean the carpet and I decided to clean the headliner as well.

So after cleaning the carpets and mats on the doors, I spray the carpet cleaner on the headliner.

My interior is gray. It was disgusting. My blue shop towels turned black instantly. It took me about 45 min but, my car smells better (IMO) and the headliner looks much better.

Also, the headliner on the roof attaches with Velcro and some of the tabs popped off so I pushed the headliner back up and viola, no more hanging headliner.

did you spray the liner with the shampoo, or did you spray it on the cloth first?

Both. Be careful not to spray to much in the air so you don't breathe it or get too much on the leather.

good job cleaning the interior...

make sure you clean the inside of the back window too - that back window gets FILTHY with soot if you drive with your windows down a lot.
