Dirty roof?

Had my car for almost 3 years now and I'm just now noticing that my interior roof is REALLY dirty/filthy. I drive my car with the windows down all the time, as I'm sure a lot of you do, and I know that this is how it got dirty. It's literally all black, the area between the back seat of the front seats and the rear seats on both the driver and passenger side. Am I the only one that has this problem? What would I even use to clean it?

I had that happen in my F-150, tried lots of interior cleaners and even though it would help it wouldn't take it all off. I think your better off just getting it re-upholstered. Maybe some suede??

This is just another reason why it was stupid for INFINITI to give us cream-colored headliners.
I cleaned mine with some Woolite diluted with water. 6 parts water to 1 part Woolite, and a terry cloth towel took care of some dirty spots for me.

I asked my dealership to hook me up with the guy they use to clean cars that get traded in...
the guy does inside and out...
he put new cushions in the car... cleaned EVERYTHING... and the worn out leather is all nice again...
I still have to take it in for the outside.. and then I pay him...
