I'm a Fncking idiot: Help my clean my car. - Honda Prelude Forum

I know this could be in the detailing sector, but it could also be here. More traffic.

Well, today, I was stupid enough to leave a can of soda in my car; it was somewhat hot today.

The can exploded and got soda all over the passenger REAR seat. It also splattered some on the quarter panle/armrest thing, and a few drops on the headliner. It could have been worse.

However, I've never been much of an interior cleaning guru, so I could use a few pointers on good ways to clean it, however, I DO NOT want to have to remove ANYTHING from the car. Is this possible? Any tips?

I already feel like a dunce, try not to rub it in.

Thank you.

That blows man. Steam clean it maybe, that is gonna suck to get out. Prepare to do some scrubbing.

Yeah go rent a Rug Doctor at the grocery store. I was able to remove a couple pints of day old blood out of my light grey seats,carpet,and everything else in between. Couldn't even notice the stains.

Couple pints of blood? Did you slaughter a pig in the car?

Rug Doctor would do it but it might screw up the headliner.

I own a detail company, try to use Simple Green if you can find that in any stores around you. Its good stuff and its non toxic so it wont dry out your vinyl or other upholstery areas. Soda is a B**** tho so it is gonna take some work.

wow, thanks guys. I've also heard some good stuff about that simple green. I'll see if I can't find some.

Damn, if soda is as notorious as you guys said it is, than this was a BIG mistake leaving it in there.

Thanks a lot again, everyone! Any comments appreciated.

Alcohol and cliff diving not a very good combo for some.

Steam clean is probably the best suggestion...the combination of extreme heated liquid (steam) and gently rubbing it with some other cleaning products should get it out, or at least mitigate the dmg.

Yeah, no ****. I don't feel like spending that money though. I just got a wet rag and scrubbed everything down, and so-far, it actually worked, although I know you inerior-pro's will say that I didn't really do anything to help. at least it seemed like I did, nothing is sticky anymore...

boymeetsfence · 06-18-2009, 09:14 PM

Sounds like you have experience with sticky things in your car...

lol
