How do you remove Pepsi stains fro a headliner

[paulmart1944]

The car was parked in very hot weather with the windows closed. It got so hot inside the car that a can of Pepsi exploded and left stains on the headliner and dash.

What can I use to remove the stains?

Yikes I did the same thing with Coke about 10 years ago on an almost new car. It was sitting in the front seat while I was golfing and 5 hours later: kaboom. All over the seats, headliner, dash and vents. I scrubbed the crap out of my seats with carpet shampoo but the headliner was a ***** to get out but you still could see a faint stain. The vents were the worst as dust would stick to them and the way they were designed you really couldn`t get it all out.



Any dash cleaner would work. For the headliner there`s this stuff called spot shot carpet cleaner that takes out cola. Try it on a small area so it doesn`t change color. You should be able to get it at Walmart.

I used a window cleaner (auto store house brand in a spray bottle) on the headliner of my mom`s car when she had a can of Diet Pepsi explode in her car a couple years ago. Lightly sprayed so I didn`t ruin the adhesive. I think I lightly scrubbed it with a terry cloth towel. Did the trick.

I`ve never had a problem removing soda stains from anything with Prestone Foaming Carpet Cleaner. Prestone kicks butt. Another product that I use for stain removal (usually on headliners) is called Advantage. It dilutes down to anything from glass cleaner to engine degreaser. It is really amazing stuff.

I have used Castrol Super Clean APC on Jamba Juice before.....Just use proper dilution ratios......Like 12:1 for a headliner......
