Protecting headliner

[FrankieD]

I am looking for the best product to use to protect the headliner from dirt/dust etc. (especially when driving with the windows open).
I have asked multiple people and no one can suggest anything.

I know that Genesis offered a package with a certain product that help with that but I can’t for the life of me remember the name of that product.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Although Genesis doesn’t use Alcantara (it’s a brand)...they use the Dinamica brand (by Miko)...same micro fiber suede stuff out of Italy.

Thanks for the info.

in the early 90's My dad had a Lancia with a light beige Alcantara interior (I grew up in Europe). These seats were the easiest thing to clean with TCE but I believe it has been banned here due to health issues. I am sure there are lots of fabric cleaners that can be used on it but I remember it as a very easy material to clean, even in a light color.

All you need is water.

Great! Thanks for the info. Good to know that it’s an easy material to clean. I’m hoping it won’t be a regular thing since I barely have windows open but i know it will need to be done

I would not worry too much about it, should be easier to maintain than the typical material you find on headliners. I think it looks very high end, even more so in the light color

I have to say that the Chemical Guys stuff at least the one I have used are garbage. They have a great name that sells itself, good following, and great demoes but their cleaning chemicals are just average or below average!

 

[Beefer]

^ yeah...I posted that more for cleaning...not their products. Removed.

I have their Honeydew Snowfoam and use it with a foam cannon. Impressive foaming ability but shit job as a soap that removes dirt same with their Citrus & Gloss!

I agree. I used the soap from them using my foam cannon too and I definitely wasn’t impressed!

The Info that @Beefer sent regarding caring for the micro suede is really helpful. You guys have helped ease the worries a lot

Thanks

So out of curiosity, why does the headliner need protection unless you're a smoker or gonna shag in the car?

Kids touch headliners?
Maybe I got lucky and never had any stains so far in any of the cars I've owned!

 

[Beefer]

I yell at my kids.

I haven’t been that lucky unfortunately, but it’s not the end of the world

I treat the 2 I have like they are in max security when in my car!

This is my new addition and I doubt he can reach the headliner!

Well...if they hold him on his back...and too many treats...little f$%ker could have a blowout on your ceiling.
