Cleaning headliner on '84 Carrera
OK, so what' the best way to clean the vinyl headliner on an older Porsche? It appears to be vinyl, it's white with all of the small holes in it....not sure what exactly that fabric is called. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Headliners:
Require special care and attention, as cloth type headliners are assembled with foam backing and usually glued to a fibre roof panel. If the headliner becomes wet, it can cause the head liner to delaminate and fall down. An interior cleaner (303 TM Fabric & Vinyl Cleaner) should be used. Spray onto a terry towel and wipe very gently
Do not spray products directly onto head lining. Wipe lightly making sure not to leave headliner wet. Inspect and re-clean as necessary. It is better to clean twice, rather than to allow the head liner to get too wet. An alcohol based aerosol glass cleaner may also work for this operation because of its quick evaporation.
