Hi
The headlining of my V8 saloon is dirty and jaded possibly due to smokers a few decades ago.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to a procedure to clean it in situ?
TIA

Re: Cleaning Headlining in situ
Tia, my experience of head linings of this age is as they are usually made of wool fabric, they are very ripe and will hole and tear very easily so not easy to clean without damaging them.
I did see an old car once with the head lining painted a matching colour, not sure what paint he used, but it certainly worked and looked original. Syd
