Headliner mucilage removal
What is the best style to remove glue remainder from headliner without damaging the board?
Found all of these beneath in various forums(not audi), non certain whether these volition damage the headboards in our cars.
3M agglutinative remover, Denatured alcohol, Isopropyl Alcohol, Goo gone, Sandpapaer, Laquer thinner, General Purpose adhesive cleaner
This is how the headliner looks after cleaning the nasty orange cream..

I've heard that it'south not good to use solvents/chemicals because they get out residue which prevents good adhesion when you get to mucilage on the new cloth.
I used steel wire wheels operated via a rotary tool, in my instance a dremel, with a steady and careful paw to completely get rid of the orange. It takes a while, but it can be washed. You might desire to wear a dust mask or something (respirator maybe?), and safety glasses, not just to stay rubber from the glue dust, but to protect your eyes from the fiddling steel wires that volition occasionally shoot out from the wire wheel bit.
Merely curious, how are yous applying the new fabric, and what fabric will you use?

I also read this in some forum, somebody was suggesting using a damp cloth with just water. Not sure water can harm the board though.

I actually used wire castor to remove the orange foam, but it was very sticky. Volition attempt your method..

I am simply gonna do it by myself, i believe in my skills even though I haven't done this in the past.
I am getting new OE replacement material of the same color and foam back fabric material from headliner express. Their price is bit high, but they have a bully reputation in BMW forums and their fabric exactly matches the texture and color of the current headliner. Their kit comes with adhesives which I probably use to glue the new cloth or I may apply 3M foam fast 74 orange gum which I already accept with me..

Today I was looking at few guides posted on websites endemic by headliner repair shops and most of them just tells to remove the one-time cream using a castor until information technology is clean.
If that'south the instance, then my headliner already looks make clean enough for the new gum..have been successful in brushing off the orange foamy stuff even so accept a gummy residue left though..
Ya, I heard the 3M Foam 74 is best even though information technology doesn't really say on the can that it is made for headliners..
