Default Problem: White headliner and pillars getting DIRTY

I'm a "sunroof open and windows down" kinda guy. I've noticed that the interior fabric on the B pillars are starting to get dirty and so is the headliner in the back. I know there's not much I can do to prevent it (besides roll my freakin windows up), but is there anything out there that is good to clean it? Maybe there's a way to re-cover it without it costing and arm and a leg? I'de hate to try dyeing it black or something.. but it's looking pretty bad.

Any suggestions?

Stop smoking in it?

Mine looks fine, and I try to drive with the windows and/or sunroof open whenever I can. I've had my car about two months.

I smoke, but not in my tC.

See, my Scion rocks in this case. The pillars and everything just peel up and stuff, so the dealer can replace them whenever they get dirty.

Non smoker... but I do a lot of highway driving. My only guess is construction dust?

Last time I was in Jacksonville I-295 and I-95 were horrible roads to commute on. I'm a windows down/sunroof kind of guy myself, but when I get on highway, windows go up because of the noise. Had car 2 weeks, no staining yet. I don't drive in very dusty areas though.

The b-pillars are also cloth covered. The clotch is bubbling/peeling up.
