Cleaning the headliner...

[JHMCBEXR]

Hey guys. I must say this is an amazing forum regarding our precious CB7's. I have a question, and if so i hope TypeG or many other detailing enthusiasts can help me out.

I own both a 1992 Honda Accord EX-R and a 1993 Honda Accord SE Coupe both of which are one owner cars (owned and purchased from day one by my father here in Toronto, Canada).

Well after keeping these cars as mint as they could have been, i noticed that there is some grease/orange-yellowish substance located on the above headliner...Mainly on the sunroof cover. Ive tried feeling them and they seem to be some sort of grease or something. I tried cleaning it with just a regular hot damp cloth and yet its not coming off... What would you recommend to clean such a thing, any type of products out their to tackle the job, but i dont want to ruin the interior on any other the cars... ruining the SE's leather or the EX-R's cloth would kill me...lol im a detail enthusiast myself.

Thanks again, hope to hear from you guys soon.

i use simple green on my headliner with a soft bristle brush, then wipe with a terry towel. sometimes vinyl stains and not much can be done about it because it's porous.

you can also refer to this thread:

i noticed you also mentioned leather. use a high quality cleaner and conditioner that are made to work in conjunction with each other. later.

Lets say someone drew permanent marker on the headliner how do you get it out without any scuff or scotch pad marks on it while you brush?

if you use a soft bristle brush it doesn't leave any marks. you can also try the magic earaser or hairspray for permanent marker. later.

Does this happen more frequently on sunny, hot days? If so I have the same thing too
