What's The Best Valeting Technique For Cleaning Roof Lining

[Carl911]

As above, I have a few marks on the lining. What's the best method of cleaning them off.

Any recommendations or is it just microfiber cloth and warm water?

Also, has anyone tried polishing up the wood trim to remove some of the swirl scratches?

I have plastic polish for head lights and was considering trying a bit.

For the headlining I use interior shampoo (Autoglym brand is good for the money) and a microfiber. As for the wood, I removed the main section, ashtray and cup holder and buffed it using a light compound with my DA machine polisher and waxed afterwards, looked loads better, no marks and the colour looks much deeper. You could probably achieve a similar result with normal bodywork polish that contain fillers to cover over the swirl marks, for instance Autoglym Super Resin Polish.

Cheers Ryan, having only bought the car last Sunday, this weekend will be the big valet to cleanse out the previous owners dirt.
