Hello, I have a 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback LX
I spilled soda on the cup holder; and the whole mechanism that holds it together to allow it to slide back n forth has been tainted with liquid. Before, it used to slide back n forth with just a flick of your pinky, now you have to put all your muscles into it; the glide is just awful.
Honestly, I never wanted to eat or drink in my babe. But it was one of those careless situations where you had a passenger and you forget everything related to the car or yourself because you're focused on them instead. And sh-- happens.
Is there a way to properly clean this? I already have Maguire's interior clean for the plastic interior; I'm going to be cleaning inside and outside of my Civic. She's long overdo for some proper attention and it's about time I get serious with my maintenance that I used to do and haven't done consistently for awhile like I vowed to do. But anyway, I tried water, and that didn't do the trick. It managed to get rid of the Soda stain inside the actual cup holder, but it didn't thoroughly remove anything. I mean it's still VERY much there, but at least it's more likely to be loose/will come off in the future.
I was tempted to just buy a whole new cup holder unit but that's money down the drain that I could apply elsewhere. And I remember when i joined the forums the first time I asked the community for a list of crap I could possibly do for the car and just never had the budget to do so. But turning my life around today with focusing on working & making money, I am finally down the path of getting around to that darn list I've been dreaming about.
Well anyway, I am just focused on cleaning this damn soda stain. Any advice is appreciated. I'll put in some pictures of the cupholder tomorrow when there's sunlight and I better prep for the cleaning she needs. Any advice is appreciated.
