One of my co-workers came to me late yesterday afternoon and asked, "You're the only C-Max in the parking garage right? You might want to go look at your car." There was dried cola all over my car. It looks like someone set their drink on my hood and it tipped over. There was cola down the hood, the side, on the grill, had dripped down into the fog lights, etc. Since it was 103 outside yesterday, it was already dried and sticky, but at least I was in the garage so it wasn't baking in the sun. With no access to water in the parking garage, I decided to just drive it home and wash it immediately. I washed it, paying careful attention to the crevices and nooks and crannies (yeah, I know...it isn't an English muffin....but you get the idea). Once dried, I used Griot's Speed Shine afterwards. Looking carefully, I don't see any damage to the paint or anything, even though soda is pretty caustic stuff. Any recommendations on anything else I should have done.....to the car, not to the person who spilled cola on it!
