Soda exploded!!!! Need advice on how to clean!

**MEGAdetail** · 10-06-2013, 01:17 AM

My mom had a soda explode in her car!
I'm going to be detailing her car tomorrow morning need advice on cleaning behind the stereo buttons, they are very sticky and some of them stick and take a little while to come back out.

I have a McCulloch steamer

The car in mention is a 2012 Nissan juke
Thank in advance

Will the steamer ruin any of the buttons or electrical devices?

It can just be careful and not hold the steam over them to long. If your not confident using the steamer then just use APC.

I have the same steamer, I've always cleaned around the electronic parts and never had any problems.
Just make sure the ignition is off.
As said be careful.
Great little steamer btw, love mine.

Can the McCulloh steamer be used on leather?

Yes it can but not straight steam. you need to use a MF towel over the steam. Not sure what attachments come with your model.

I clean leather seats with my steamer, I wrap a wet MF towel around one of the attachment heads and begin to gently clean the leather,I find this to be the most effective way to clean leather.
Just remember to keep the head moving not to damage the leather , when common sense is used you'll have some really clean leather

Rinse out the towel when it becomes soiled.

A Real Old School Solution for Sticky Buttons:

A long time ago, in a time far, far away, "they" made something called tuner cleaner. It came in a spray can like canned air. It was used to clean all kinds of electronic parts and the insides of radios, TVs, radar equipment; the list was endless.

If "they" still make the stuff, it just might solve your problem with the sticky buttons.

Back in the old days, you could get it at Radio Shack (sorry) or almost any electronics repair shop.

Might give it a try if you can find it. Good Luck.
