    Morning All,

    2008 52" Viking

    Looking for the best solution to clean the cabins headliner, finger prints around light fittings and general hand prints, have tried a few different cleaners only to make it smear

    Any ideas would be great

    Cheers from Downunder Aus

    I had similar issues and ended up bringing in a pro. He did a great job removing the oil that my questionable mechanic splashed up there.
    Check with one of the full service yards in your area they probably have a guy. It's a lot cheaper than replacing the headliner.

    Just used Star Bright Vinyl Polish & Cleaner with great results.

    Viking headliners are typically a cloth type material, not the typical vinyl stuff

    Viking sells a "dry cleaning sponge" made to clean soft headliners. They work ok in general and are probably at their best for modest fingerprint type marks

    I used a "magic eraser" on vinyl overhead and similar surfaces, but very gently.
