The headliner in my E30 looks atrocious. The previous owner was a smoker and thus the headliner is brown and disgusting. I tried using a spray cleaner and a paper towel but all it seemed to do was spread the grime around. Does anyone have any methods that work? Any help is appreciated; thanks!

Mr.Clean magic eraser. Seriously, I have heard that these things will do wonders on our headliners. Let me know how it works if you try it?"Drifting an E30 is like pouring out a beer just to get a nickel for the can"Comment

I got a couple of 'em in my pantry, so I'll give 'em a shot, but I don't know if they're gonna accomplish the job...1987 Toyota MR2: 20v blacktop screamer

Ehh, it sorta just scrubbed the dirt around rather than removing it and I chewed through 2 of 'em in 10mins of scrubbing. It'd probably take a whole box for me to get the whole headliner clean, but it's the only thing that's worked even remotely so far.1987 Toyota MR2: 20v blacktop screamer

Hint: Stop eating KFC in your car then rubbing your greasy mitts on the headliner?:up:"Drifting an E30 is like pouring out a beer just to get a nickel for the can"Comment

I just cleaned mine with a bug sprayer full of purple power cleaner diluted 8:1 with hot water. Spread out a big cotton drop cloth over the whole interior. Sprayed the headliner, waited, scrubbed with a soft brush, did that again, dried with a microfiber towel, then rinsed with plain hot water from the bug sprayer, and dried again with a clean towel. Let dry for 48 hours with the windows down. This worked awesome. Note that I live in Las Vegas with 8 percent humidity and stuff dries out really fast. If you live in a wetter climate, the amount of water involved might cause you problems between the headliner and the roof sheet metal. Ditto for the electrical stuff up in there."If the sky were to fall tomorrow, the tall would die first."
