wait for it to dry then a brush, vacuum and some elbow grease?

maybe after you cleaned it, dab it with a damp cloth or somethin to get the residue off...

Haha, I also accidentally sat on a chip I dropped, so i got a nice grease stain on the seat...

Jesus, nothing is going my way, squeaky clutch pedal, noisy power steering pump, mud on the drivers side carpet (oops) and now grease stain on the seat (god damnit). Whats next? (What ever happens I'll be posting here and knowing my luck, it will eventuate, so stay tuned). My car is going to be worth 2 cents by the time someone offers to buy it.

I'm thinking about hiring one of those steam cleaners from the supermarket and going over the interior with it.

Also, while I'm at it, my insurance is going up from $530 a year to $2040, because originally Dad didn't list me as a driver on the policy, yay I'm going to be poor, thats only 50% of usage between me and him too.

Yes that was quite funny haha. good play.
