So I left my sunroof tilted last night and it rained. I had the inside slider closed though. The rain left some nasty red rust looking stains on the interior headliner. I used to smoke and let people smoke in the car, and I noticed that under the sun visors, it is nice and clean but everything else has like a yellowish nicotine color to it. What do you guys clean your headliners with... if it is even possible. Thanks

You have to be careful with headliners! They are glued to the ceiling, and too much water penetrating the headliner will loosen the headliner, and you will end up with a sagging headliner.
I had to clean a headliner a couple months ago when my mom left a can of Dr Pepper (unopened) in her car overnight, when it got down to 18*F! The damn can exploded in the car, and I had to clean Dr Pepper out of most of the headliner, door panels, and the front seats.
I made a solution of warm water and Woolite. I put a spot of Woolite about the size of a half dollar in a 5-quart bucket, and filled it about half way with warm water. Then I used a WalMart Microfiber towel to gently rub the Woolite/water into the stains, and used another MF towel to dry the area after the stain was gone. It worked very well...I did the whole job in about 20 minutes. The only downside is that you may have a stiff neck after this.5spd Maxima SE - SOLD

At work I use a carpet cleaner or an all purpose cleaner. Forgot the company that makes the stuff, the carpet cleaner is Action Foam, the other is Power Foam. Since they made the cans so you can only spray em upside down, you gotta put it on a rag and then rub it in. Ofcourse don't rub too hard, you can fuzz up the headliner.
We get a lot of used cars that have been smoked in. They're disgusting. That said, I think my Protege was smoked in, though there's no smell of it, only a burn hole or 2 in the seat(though I got MX-3 seats now ofcourse), maybe they smoked something else, which would account for the defroster being left on and melting the switch out, and the shotty exhaust work...anyway if you got yellow on the headliner it's prolly just better to get another from a junkyard rather than trying to clean what you have.
