Had a can of pop explode onto my roof (interior)......

[Frequent]

Well im an idiot. Left a can of orange pop in my car, it exploded. I didnt notice it for about a week because its on the passenger side, and far enough back it doesnt catch my view unless my seats reclined.

I started trying to rub it out (please.. no jokes :P) with my finger + spit, its getting the pop off but its making an awful mess of the fabric. It's turning somewhat dark and looks completely out of place with the rest of the fabric. I stopped after a couple marks. Not really sure how I should proceed.

Is there a proper way to remove the rest of the pop without messing up the fabric anymore? Is there anyway to reverse the "damage" thats already been done?

Any advice would be great, thanks!

scrub brush plus a little soap maybe? maybe little water. you know we are going to need to see pictures of this

You could try those upholstery cleaners that's in an aerosol can with a brush head on it.

[kLuMzi]

you can try folex or prosolve, few members have used them. search those words and you'll see

Oxi Clean + some warm water...

i asked my uncle who owns a cleaning company and he said either shampooing or steamcleaning, hope that helps

I would go with a steam clean. Get it done before the Ants come out.

I'm sorry I had to laugh when I read your post. Good thing it happened now in winter I guess. The summer heat would just bake that in. As mentioned above, I think a good steam clean from a detail shop my work.

Try Folex to soak it through and finish it off with upholstery shampoo w/ wet vac.

We were moving houses last year, in December, and I didn't know my wife had placed a case of some cranberry pop on the passenger seat of the car, which at the time was a 2000 protege we barely used. The car got left for a while, and when I returned to it, there was red slush everywhere. I'd say 6 cans exploded -- it looked like the car in pulp fiction after Travolta mistakenly blows some guys brains out, only there was no Harvey Keitel around to clean up my mess. Instead, I blotted and dabbed as best I could with a microfiber cloth and some warm water, and then used prosolve to get the rest out. In the end, the car came clean.

if it was the summer, I'd just take my whole back seat out and power wash it with the hose...

hahahah what a idiot

[standsideways]

perfect excuse to redo the headliner, the stock material sucks anyways :p

[m3zoomzoom]

when i bought the car i had ALOT of tar stains in the headliner (the previous owner was probably a heavy smoker)... i used some" oxy power out" carpet cleaner by turtle wax and a steam cleaner and it got rid of everything

HAHAHAAH thats priceless, made my day


Just don't wash it like this lady does it...
