Default Sparkly glittery finish in headliner?

Today I noticed when I was refreshing my headliner with a damp microfiber that my black headliner has super tiny specks of what appear to be glitter. They did not wipe away so I'm thinking its part of the finish of the headliner. It was easily noticeable when I took a flashlight to the headliner in my dark garage. Can anyone confirm if theirs is the same way? I didn't want to scrub too hard and damage the headliner. I find it kinda weird. Sorry, I didn't take a pic.

Thanks. ☺️

Have you or your family ever been on a Color Run and then gotten in the car afterwards?

Not that I have done this, because who would do that? That would be crazy. Crazy I tell you. And even though you put towels down you might have to spend lots of time getting glitter out of perforated seats and your headliner. Who would do that?? *whistling*

lol. My first thought was that the previous owner was a victim of glitter bomb mail. I will try to post a pic later. But then again, there is no evidence of that anywhere else in the car. It's not very noticeable. But it's noticeable. Weird!

A good forensics lab could even give you her name.

Here is a video. Weird. You can't really notice it during the day when it's bright out and can only notice when you shine a light on it. uoon further close inspection I do think it's normal as it is uniform throughly the roof. It appears to be the actual roof liner material.

Here is also a pic of the same area during the day. I think it's just the way certain light reflects of the headliner.

Just checked...same finding here. Sparkles when illuminated with a flashlight. Most likely the polyester fibers of which the material is composed.

I have the same thing in my '13 S5 comfort seats Milano leather material too. I'll check the headliner. Everybody comments on it wondering who's been sitting here
