eww....ummm i would say Simple green works great just make sure you wash it all out. Not wash but rub or whatever. Or maybe take it to a detailer.

Man usually this would be funny, but I keep imagining it happening to me and I get this weird feeling of sadness inside me.....but I agree with what other people said, make your friend pay for it.

tape up the electric swithes...open the door at the car wash and hit the door with the sprayer (yes inside the car) but keep the nozzle a few inch back or you will blow a hole in the vinyl/cloth.

Sorry to hear that

Take the door panel off, clean it with dish soap and water...that will get that clean. Try Tuff Stuff on the seat, if not that use a steam cleaner.

Well some chick puked in my old car like 4 years ago, it was never clean after that, I couldnt get it comkpleatly off and it left a film. This was on a hard, but texturized plastic panel. Im sure if I sprayed it with some high pressure water it woulda gotten clean.

Good luck

Believe it or not, Woolite and water is a great thing to use on upholstry. Start out with a 1:1 mix...if that doesn't work you can work all the way up to a 5:1. Just spray it over, don't saturate it. You can use a microfiber (one that you don't mind throwing away when your done.) to scrub it. Be careful using any kind of brush as it could be too rough on the material. Good luck!

She meant a 10:1 mix water:woolite. Best thing to do would be soak the area in water to loosen any dirt or chunks and vacuum it up with a wet/dry vac(at least 5hp), then get a soft round upholstery cleaning brush or a microfiber. Spritz the area with the water woolite combo then scrub with the upholstery brush/microfiber, and follow that by vacuuming with the wet/dry vac.

wouldn't 10:1 (h20:woolite) be less strong than 5:1???
if that's the case, it would be better to start at 10:1 and wrk up to 1:1, yes?

It was a misunderstanding, I don't recommend anything higher than 5:1 water:woolite. I recommend starting at a 10:1 mix water:woolite, and if it's not doing the job then step up to a 5:1 mixture, 1:1 would be too soapy and hard to get out of the upholstery, just a typo.
