Cleaning the head liner

I took my car to the detailer's hen I first got it because it was really dirty. I got a good price, however they didn't clean the roof liner. The roof of the interior looks a little yellow and old, but it also looks.. dirty.. Ill try and get a picture. Is there any product I can use to try and clean it? or will I have to take it in and have it recovered.

It wasn't included in the detail package I got, and I didnt want to pay more money, so I figured I would do this myself. Suggestions welcome.

Bleach the ZDriver member? Certainly not the chemical... unless you like a discolored headliner. I don't know if bleach will stain it, but I wouldn't try. Use a vinyl cleaner....

you can clean it with that stuff as well as degreaser and soap and use a textured style sponge (not like a scotch bright thing but you know something that wil scrub) and then you can re-spray it black with vynil paint. did it to my doors in the 260 and it looked damn good.
