    Got a mint 42 year old headliner, but it's dirty and got hand prints all over it. What would you guys recommend to clean this up without tearing it or bleaching? any product recommendations?

    if it's in a GM, the thread holding it together may disintegrate if you handle it much. At least that happened to all of the ones from the 50s-60s in AZ when they got to be about 20 yrs old.

    Try using "Mr. Clean Magic Erasure" that stuff is crazy. Especially good for white vinyl.
