Re: headliner cleaner

[Toby Erkson <Toby_Erkson@ccm.jf.intel.com>]

I used a product called Simple Green.  It's a clear general purpose cleaner 
that's, well, the color green.  I misted a sponge with it, wiped/lightly 
scrubbed a small section then rinsed the sponge in a bucket of water and 
rewiped the area to clean up the residue.  Wow, there was a white headliner 
under those 25 years of dust particles!  Lucky for me I have a ragtop so 
there wasn't a whole lot to clean :)  I did notice that the first section 
of my headliner, the windshield section, was an off-white compared to the 
other sections of headliner -- they must've used a non-contiguous piece of 
material when they made my headliner so they discolored differently over 
time (? hey, it sounds good to me!).

You could probably get the same results with warm, soapy water (but don't 
over do it on the soap, okay!).  Just make sure you rinse the surface to 
remove any extra soap/cleaner.
