headlining

Hi there,

I have a clipper and it has a white vinyl roof lining, I imagine yours will be leather look vinyl too.

I used cillit bang on mine to clean it, has done a reasonable job but its still a bit grubby. Another good thing to use is vanish washing powder additive made into a paste and applied with a nail brush.

Hope you get it sorted, it would annoy me too!! :D

loads of different products, jiff now ciff, garden furniture cleaners (plastic) and Swarfega as it does not drip on you with it being jellified lol. Just make sure you have some old terry type cloths as these seem to absorb the muck better when wiping down.
If it is really leather, a good leather cleaner with nourishment food. Maguires and autoglym do a range.

I've been using good old cilt bang. Aint to bad, but it's not amazing, much like the rest of the car!

Still going after 12 years… never said it was a quick fix! Time is not my friend.

Cleaning

For an oil based stain i used good old white spirit on a rag. Be careful though and use just enough to shift the stain. The rest of the grubbyness take your pick of the supermarket bathroom cleaners. Good luck.
