I have a 1965 850 that I am preparing to get back on the road.
The headlining is in excellent condition but stained around 100-120mm along the bottom edges.
I don't want to remove it from the car as it is in excellent condition. Does anyone know what to use to remove the light brown stain?
Thanks,
McFarkle

I resprayed my white headlining ( without removing it) with vinyl spray after giving it a good clean with Handy Andy and a nail brush. Give it time to dry first. Light sprays and take your time, mask up the roof rails carefully.

Many swear by a bleach such as Nappy San and rinse with clean water to remove grime, but unlikely to have much effect on the glue stains. The latter is really part of the patina of a 50 year old vehicle.
