I drive with my windows down alot and I've noticed dirt buildup on my headliner. What's the best product to use to clean the headliner for the coupe?

LOL. I had the same problem. It gets really bad on the seatbelt extension piece and on the headliner right above the rear window. I actually just got done doing my interior. I was using Stoner Trim Clean (available at Pep Boys, etc.) for the plastic stuff and decided to give the headliner (where it was dirty) a quick wipe. It worked well. Don't saturate the applicator. I was using a cheapo terry cloth applicator. Just spray a lil on the applicator and give it a quick pass.
You may also want to try Woolite foaming carpet cleaner. I never tried it on a headliner, but I think that should work well too. The foam is light and shouldn't really soak in. Have a wet/dry vac on standby because the foam brings the dirt to the surface and then you just vacuum it up. Again, I wouldn't spray the whole liner with it, just the small spots you need. I would also test a small area that no one will see first.
I think the stoner cleaner is the way to go, it worked for me.

My girlfriend accidently got lipstick on my headliner. After calming down, she recommended I used a product from Home Depot call Folex (or something sounding like it). It is a product that removes stains from carpets. One or two sprays and the lipstick disappeared, no joke. I didn't wipe or anything. I eventually did wipe it, but it looked good as new.
