Posted earlier about cleaning headling in a P1 gtv. Eventually got it right.

Applied carpet/upholstery cleaner, not direct but by applying spray to a small sponge and then worked it into the fabric evenly.

Left to dry but on return it was very patchy with dark lines at edges of applications.

Hey Presto...........used a small nail brush(dry) all over and now have an as new headlining. Well pleased.

Well done:): As I said, I've used the Kirby carpet shampoo, foamed it up, used a sponge to just apply the foam, as they recommend, let it dry, then vacuumed off. Cleans it Ace, leaves a nice smell, and so-called, scotchguard protects it. Better than the Turtle Wax upholstery cleaner I tried previously.:):

She decided on a Kirby with its carpet cleaning attachment years ago. But the instructions with the actual shampoo for say upholstery, tell you to dilute it with water in a bucket, foam it up,apply with a coarse sponge, allow it to dry, then with a small vac. attachment suck of the dried powder. Great American stuff, but not cheap. Anyway, you've scored, so to speak.:D
