Audi B8 A4 Recommendations for Cleaning the Silver Headliner

[S4_SH1640]

Hi,

Looking for recommendations for cleaning the silver/grey headliner. I wish to change it to black but i really dont want to do all of that work. So my other option is to clean it. I tried different products but not much success.

What do/did you guys use that just worked effortlessly.

Thanks

I was pondering this myself the other day. The simplest thing I thought of was dying it black with one of those dye packs you can buy. Would love to hear others ideas on this as well

I would sell you my old star silver one if you want to convert it to black, but I'll also clue you in to how I cleaned up mine; a magic eraser. Just make sure to re-wet it to remove the dirt from the eraser, and don't rub really hard or you'll just grind in the dirt. I have heard, but haven't tried myself, that a small amount of windex on a paper towel or microfiber will lift the dirt as well, but the blue part made me nervous. The magic eraser worked like a charm, especially on the B-pillar hard plastics and the fabric where the seat belt contacts the pillar.

I use Blue Coral upholstery cleaner for normal dirt. Brake clean works well on stubborn stains but do not let it splash on any plastics parts. I spray a little on a clean microfiber and then use that to clean the spot. I will use a magic eraser if necessary but they are abrasive.

Griots interior detailer, a few clean microfiber towels, and a vaccum always worked for me. Spray on to the cloth as well as the area you are trying to clean, aggitate grime, hit it with the vaccum, repeat.

for those considering going black, you should check out avantagg's project where he dyed/painted his headliner...im planning on doing something similar when i can carve out the time. he used a product called dyenaflow
