Default Interior Restoration

Happy Sunday all, contemplating next upgrades as I have 2 football games on!

My interior is in barely fair shape, dirty lining around door jams, loose and dirty pillar covers, headliner, etc.

Is there any advice or sites you all can give me to start the process?

Cheers!

LuvMyCat,

Headliner material, search the web and go to your local fabric retailers. Most carry an assortment of headliner material, look over the selection and ask for a swatch of the ones close to your interior. If they aren't a good match, then goggle search the web using the keywords Jaguar and headliner. Most online retailers will also mail you a swatch so you can compare before you buy.

Purchase Mother's Back to Black, don't be deceived by the name, it can be used on all colors, don't use it on your leather. For leather, purchase from

Home Page | Leatherique Restoration Products

They have an assortment of repair material, cleaners and dyes. I have no affiliation with them.

By the way, the Back to Black is outstanding at restoring the exterior rubber and plastic pieces. I have been doing the same as you on restoration work and have been thoroughly impressed with the product on restoring the rubber and plastic on my 23 year old Jag. Of course you will need to apply and reapply a few times at first, then do regular maintenance.

Miscellaneous interior parts: search ebay or go to your local wrecker yard and see if they happen to have a vehicle with your color code. You can also try:

Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market

It's a resource for vehicles in wrecker yards all over the states. (Not sure where you reside.)

Good luck

I was going to point you to the forum Detailing / Car Care section but the link we have to the site I had in mind is no longer working.

Instead, here's a direct link:

Car Leather & Interior Care (Cleaning & Conditioning) | How-to Guide

They have a good procedure guide with recommended products.
