How to clean car headliner
• Cleaning Heavily Stain...
Was this any helpful? lol. I felt like I was all over the place. Lemme know! All the links are in the description box :)
I have hundreds of videos showing my ugly face already haha
My two cents, everyone has their own methods, me n my bro spray the whole headliner first with pump sprayer then just wipe with rags bara bing barra boom done😂 but all about the chemical doing the work 😁
@@DetailGroove 🤣
hola mi pregunta es cuanto tiempo se demora para hacer un lavado salón
You should try the green short handle split fiber brush. Works perfect and doesn’t damage the headliner fabric
Hey bro! To clean the over head liner I usually use my mc McCulloch 1385 steamer and it works wonders. I spray hot steam on the stained area in small circular motion and then wipe it off with a microfiber towel. After all that I spray some APC to add a final touch and it works wonders for me.
don't steam headliners, they'll activate the adhesive and over time will cause sagging. Only use it if the stain is impossible to remove.
@@chvnse if you know what your doing you won’t cause sagging. I myself and many guys I know who have used a steamer have never had a problem. Have a customer from three years ago that I still maintain and no sagging still
@@XxchickMagnetx why though, apc and a microfiber remove 90% of stains. Now if you've profected it then I can't say you're wrong.
I appreciate your...’keep it simple stupid’ approach to detailing...
Yes it heals the small guys out here that don’t have all the FANCY machines (bless their little ol heart who do)...lol
I too spent like 1,500 a couple years ago on detailing equipment...only to discover I’d spent way ore then needed on UNNECESSARY equipment that actually slowed down my progress...(hauling,taking out,setting up etc...)
I’ve learned as you stress...it doesn’t take so much stuff to deliver superior results...
Love your channel...big fan...u keep me interested in my trade...yes I’m a full time detailed...and I love this stuff!!!
I sit around a lot in my off time and watch you and a few others....CLEAN CARS!!! Hahaha....
Who does that? When off work...watches WORK lol
Anywho...Thanks for the great content Oscar....!
hahah thanks so much for the kind words! Glad I can help in some way :)
I've been pretty successful with CG Nonsense 10:1 ratio and use the extractor vacuum. You are right about not being aggressive. Headliners are very flimsy and will damage easily. I use your technique which works phenomenal by the way. This is also a very viable addition to your services offered. You be presenting some real situations so it makes your videos easy to relate to and learn from.
I don’t like to leave negative comments but that persons headliner is now wrecked, as will be those of the people using this vid to learn. Those cleaning methods absolutely caused that headliner to sag badly! Using a drill brush on a headliner isn’t just overkill, it’s destructive! Now that suv needs a replacement headliner.
You are the wise one
This is my favorite so far. I don't aspire to have a business. I watch to see what professionals can do, and you do awesome things. I would never have thought you'd get that cleaned. I hope you got paid way more than what you asked. Thanks Oscar!
haha thanks so much for the kind words! I'll try and make more of these :)
I heard if you reverse the drill from clockwise to counterclockwise every other time it makes sure the brushes stay straight 😃
This is helpful ✅️
Yes thank you!! My car was in an accident and I just got it out of the shop! They detailed it surprisingly lol everything except the headliner. And there’s black oil gunky stuff up there now
Uh-oh. Well hopefully this video helps :)
Great results! Looks so simple with minimal tools needed and products! Anyone can do even me. Thank you Oscar!
haha exactly! Yes you can :)
Bro you wildin’ out here taking a drill brush to that headliner 😮😂😂😂
haha
You think it’s too aggressive?
Thanks for continuing to take time to help others. I really appreciate it and you continue to help build my confidence!!
The fabric above the A pillar on the passenger side wasn’t sagging before the aggressive brushing and wiping.
I’m so afraid of headliners. I think I’ll tell people I can’t do them.
yea its like everybody who is whatching this clip is blind, he ruined the headliner.
Whole ceiling sagging by the end of the video... thanks for showing me what not to do
It was already saggy from being wet. When one part of the headliner gets really wet it absorbs throughout the headliner. It’s either this or buy a new headliner.
oh my
I laughed so hard from this comment
Yup. Too much pressure and too course of a towel.
Def glad I wasn’t the only one who thought that
Great video and tips, but Tuff Stuff or Tornador is my go to for headliner cleaning.
Those also work :)
The foam color indicates the cycles of foam from, the dispenser and lets the attendant know how much is left. When you see mostly red/pink time to fill it up again.
Perfect timing for your video. I have a spot on the ceiling of my truck that I need to take care of. Going to get that drill brush for my seats. 👍
Woot- give it a go!
@@DetailGroove ordered it today and get it Monday. 👍
@@DetailGroove received the drill brush did the stain in headliner and stain in driver's seat. You're right about a must have item. For $10 it is so well worth it. Learning a ton from your videos. Thank you!
When your liner hangs low and it wobbles to the floor 🎶 😭
Lol it’s either this or replace the headliner. Nice work 🚀
Around 11:00, you can see the headliner sagging off the sun roof. I know some of that was there before, but there seemed to be a lot more after saturating the glue with apc and scrubbing that hard. Maybe it was just the lighting and shadows and I’m watching this on a tiny iPhone 6? I dunno. Seemed damaging but I might just be too stoned
Lol no, a looootttt of the headliner was sagging. I explained to the customer this was problematic before I started
Hi, thank you for teh great video! Quick question: on the video at 6:00 you're spraying with a different product (Quick Detailer). Linked is SuperClean... is SuperClean safe for cloth headliners since it's a degreaser?
So how much pressure would u say ur putting on the drill
Do you use distilled water? How can you tell a difference if you use regular tap water or distilled water?
Regular water has harsh metals and other crap that cause water spots and distilled water is pure leaving no metals to dry
I just use tap water lol. Not distilled
Hey I did the same method with my all purpose cleaner and a microfiber towel and it worked out pretty well. It left some water stains though, how can I prevent that from happening or get them out?
Try to just “mop” it up with your towel so it’ll get dry and leave less or even no water looking stains
Was the passenger section of the headliner already starting to sag? I would worry that using the drill brush would only make it worse, right? I'm also curious how you would handle something like a Nissan Versa, since those headliners are so cheap and fray immediately once you start scrubbing them. Any advice?
Always communicate with the customer os something like that. Don't make an assumption of what they want/like. And yeah, there will be times where you have to communicate and tell then, "Hey I can do this, but XYZ is going to happen. Do you want to continue?"
21:37 - Is the headliner hanging down where you cleaned it on the passenger side?
Thats what scares me to clean my headliner. I'm afraid if im too aggressive with it, I'll pull it off the car. any experience with this?
The foam brush I used left a stain around the previous stain, does that mean I have to apply more?
You had to wipe clean the ring left after the previous stain with a towel and product
Video starts at 1:51
I did this method and it worked great!
What is the name of the piece you had on the end of the drill and where do you get it
It’s a soft bristled still brush, 4”.
Hey man thanks for the video. The water extractor works for headliners? What about one that steams and extracts? what do you think? or too dangerous for glue and foam of headliners?
How much would you normally charge for a full headliner cleaning of this size?
Idk how old that Land Rover is but if you have the wherewithal to take down the headliner yourself you can get it recovered for about $250 depending where you go/where you live. Solid video though.
You're definitely in the right business!! I love you much attention to detail you pay!! It helps when you explain it each step of the way. Muchissimas gracias!!
Thanks your for your video!
Do you have the entire ceiling so there are no more of those water stain lines from the new cleaner applied? Or can you just clean the small area of the ceiling that is dirty only?
60 bucs to spray and scrap....Yeahhh im downn😊😊😊😊
Lessgoooo
Detail Groove, what kind of cleaner are you using in this video? My hummer h3 needs good cleaning of its headliner and roof handle side
wat do you recommend for ccigarette residue on headliner...use brush or spin brush?
What chemical used in headliner cleaning
Awesome simple basic video!
Simple and easy :)
U think those pro heat vacuum cleaner will work? I am thinking.
For some reason when I do light colored headliners, it leaves more wet rings than originally n
Gotta make sure you're drying it off correctly
Let a professional do it car cleaning is alot more to it
Xavier Jones you don’t need to be a professional to do it lol it’s a headliner. I’ve improved since then.
@@FuzzyBunnyEars how did you remove the rings?
@@supersabrosinho spray APC on a corner of a microfiber towel. Dab and scrub the dirty area gently , dry with dry side of towel.
I been watching your videos for a couple months now I detail at a dealership. What do you recommend me do do with sand ? And dirt that a vacume just doesn't pick up. I usually blow sand off mats but the carpet itself is difficult if it just sprays back into carpet.
Can u use a joint star cannon on a head linner
Wat u was using
hey my red button on the side of the steamer is broke how do i get it fixed i have same one you use?
Great video
Thanks!
If you put water on the head liner will it not sage in the future will it not ?
You're awesome mate thanks heaps for your videos and expertise cheers
One of my customers has a tan headliner but it’s black idk how to clean it
Cleaning headliners is risky business. The adhesive is more likely to dissolve when using common cleaners. How do you protect yourself from instances such as those?
Which Spray bottle is the black one?
Thanks for sharing. So simple!
Can u use a bissel carpet cleaner to clean headliner? I got a 08 tahoe with sunroof
i did this before knowing how sensitive headliners are to moisture. if you use it, be sure to suck out ALL of the spray product.
it’s difficult to do on the curvier parts of the headliner. i made so many water stains. hence why i’m watching this video now lol.
The headliner definitely got cleaned. That said, it looks like spots on the headliner are now sagging. I think you went a little to aggressive on the spray and rotor brush.
Could an extractor be used ?
No you will eventually peal of the film of the roof
I cleaned cars since i was 12years old im 30 and i never was trained or even use fancy chemicals and my vehicles always look fking sweet my point is that is no rocket science to clean wash wax a vehicle no training needed just do it 😉😉😉😉😃😃😃😃😃
Does spraying the APC first before using a brush and aggressive motion prevent the liner fabric from fraying and loosening fibers? My husband attempted to clean the headliner on his Prius and thankfully it is not sagging but he had like loose fraying fibers over the area now. It no longer has the smooth look and feel. Is there anything that can be used to lay those fibers down and smooth it out?? Thanks! 😊
Disposable razor. Shave it off
What product did you use?
Are you in Houston I have a truck that needs a clean
LMAO! HAHAHAHA for reals I hate when ppl say let the (example) do the work... I am the one holding it !! HAHAHA
haha- so true!
Thank you, so much for this.
Great video! Thank you.
You’re amazing, thank you!
I would change towels at least once
60$? Fuck that rather do it myself
Great video!
Thanks man !
How diluted was the supper clean ?
He said 10 to 1 just before he started spraying.
I LOVE YOUR COMMENTS DURING THIS FILMING.... LOL
Dog you saved me my job
Almost 100k
ALMOOSSSTTT!
Mines worse lol. Thanks for tips
you bet :)
I would have charged about 250 - 350 and taken the headliner off and cleaned it like I would any normal carpet and or seats.
Óscar cuanto le pagas al paisita que te ayuda??
Willy Ramos 12$ la hora compa
@@Gianistyles cómo sabes?
Willy Ramos lo Dijo una vez.. es su primo Del ejercito
The f***** up part is that you could get a whole roll of headliner fabric for probably $60, a little hard bristle brush and a can of spray glue, and it's not that hard to put on. Coming from a family of upholsterers.
This is 100% how not to do a headliner! U never, ever, use a stiff brush, especially on a drill lol.
Are u ppl blind? Did u not see the headliner sagging pretty much everywhere he hit with the drill!
U never want to saturate it either!
Excellent video on how to destroy a headliner. Like most headliner cleaning videos on UA-cam lol! Bet that whole thing was hanging down within a week!
The adhesive that holds the fabric is super delicate. That's why a real detail shop wont touch them!
If u must clean ur own headliner. Use a dry no rinse foam cleaner. (A real upholstery cleaner) not an all purpose cleaner, it will destroy the adhesive. And a microfiber cloth and rub gently.
Who am I? Mechanic over 20yrs, replaced hundreds of headliners because of ppl fkn them up like this!
Cant believe this dude actually posted this lmao!😂😂😂
Hundreds? Baby numbers. We're in the thousands of headliner cleanings
@@DetailGroove thousands of destroyed headliners lol. U can see clear as day this one sagging all over the place where you "cleaned" it. 🤣🤣
I'd hate to see how many paint jobs you've screwed up during to buff. If this is the way you do headliners.
Maybe you should call yourself the butcher🤣.
Most real detail shops wont even touch headliners for this reason.
Anybody doubting me can easily research for yourself!
Yea I was cringing at this. Been detailing for over 10 years . I never spray directly on the headliner or use an abrasive brush like that. I usually get a terry towel. Spray a small amount on the towel and use some elbow grease. Even when he spoke about the steamer I’m like oh God no. That’s a sure way to melt the glue . But hey if this is how he’s been doing it with no problems then more power to him but I definitely won’t be doing that
Damn...he’s paying 60$ for a headliner job when I’m charging 70$ for a full detail
😱
We just did a full interior/exterior detail with wash and wax + engine bay detail for 440 letsss get it babbby
70 dollers for a full detail is crazy I'm cheap compared to my competitors and I charge 160 for a good not full inside and out detail
I actually work at a tunnel wash abd I almost got killed this morning by someone who hit the gas instead of the brake and crased into the prep station I was standing at.
Also, most of our customers' paint it swirled like a vinyl record.
I feel bad for this person, they probably didn't stop facepalm-ing for a week.
Oh my goodness lol. That could have been terrible
@@DetailGroove😆 Totally! It was scary to see a pickup truck hauling ass at me but we were open again today. Bare bones though.
Who else is here because they hotboxed their beater in highschool and it's time to sell?
This fool calls himself a detailer 🤡
He has NO IDEA what he is doing🤦♂️
He is scrubbing way way way to hard ☹️😤
Not looking good. This will damage your headliner if it is like felt. I want it to look like factory not have balls on it. Blot is the best way.
I have a 3000GT Vr4 98 with under 40,000 miles. Yes there is no way to prevent a 22 year old car from having a dirty headliner.
However you couldn't tell until some dumb ass mechanic touch it with his greasy hands.
If you work on cars wash your hands before you get in and drive it!!
I got it out with Griot's interior cleaner. I wish they sold something that would make it look dirty again in that area.
I don't want to have to clean the whole headliner to make it match.
Why does everyone see an old car and don't care even if it is perfect.
Same thing has happened at shops with my 19 yo Civic.
I am going to have to tell them any damage and they are going to have to pay the $500 bill for a paint chip if any tools are dropped on it or $$ for having brake fluid on their hands and making the whole steering wheel eventually disintegrate.
However today if I say that they'll refuse to work on it becuase no one f***ing cares anymore.
I've been to several places.
I am now going to find a place that restores cars and pay more money in order to save money and the hassle.
I would hope they respect cars.
my god everytime you touch I cringeeeeeeeee😖 I hate the noise
touch?
lol it look saggy
Damn you ruined that headline. Folks don't use this method... Drill brush is mad over kill! Use a microfiber cloth and rub gently.
What cleaning product do you recommend with microfiber cloth?
Dude... I think, you wanna consider to put subtitles down there! I cant really understand you... 🙄
Yeah I don't have the mic on. My bad
I could understand you perfectly
Lol, the cali mexican accent!
Sound fine and I am not Hispanic. 😂 Also if @anugerahsaronfu3178 just uses the “CC” feature in UA-cam it will create subtitles.
