Default Chocolate Milkshake anyone?

We're approaching the security guard at work Tuesday and he reached for his I.D., I glanced over "Just as ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE"...
CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE EVERYWHERE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE!!

Needless to say, this is how I reacted....

Used 3M Oxy with Scotchgard spot remover and a "Fingernail Brush" the interior looks like NEW.... I'm inpressed...

While I was at it, figured, such a great day, I'd "GO FOR IT".
Did the LEDS in the dash while I was at it.

Now that is how you clean a car.

Do you work for a crime scene clean up company or what?

Haha.

Got to watch those chocolate shakes - they'll get you every time.

Nice job getting the mess cleaned up.

If only you lived by me, I could perhaps get you to spill something on my car. My "can't help myself" cleaning moments are less intense.

A tip of the hat for the good work.

The guy who spilled it is my 'office-mate', we share an office. I was watching out of the corner of my eye as it happened. Totally accidental. HE GOT IT FROM HEAD TO TOE.... LOL
He's "MORTIFIED"...
I carry a full sized Canon Towel in the rear 'trunk' just for such emergencies. Threw that baby away after this one.
Been putting him at ease since.... "Jamie, don't worry, It was an accident, we'll forget it (as I'm writing it on the calendar on the wall)(LOL)..
"Jamie, don't worry, I'm already over it." (as I'm writing it in my daily journal) (LOL).
He's another Car Enthusiast also, he owns a Very Recent Mustang GT 500 Shelby and a Raptor Pickup. So we 'go at it' all the time (in very good humor)....
Poor bastard is STILL upset....
I actually feel more sorry for him.... LOL

Note... Oxy with Scotchgard Cleaner is THE NUTZ!!! What a spectacular job of cleaning.
And McQuire's Leather Wipes did wonderful on the seats.

Ain't no stinkin' milkshakes gettin' in my Z.

That's a lot of work to clean up a milkshake. Good opportunity to get some other stuff done I suppose.

Good work!

Nice clean up job. Stock cup holders don't hold much. Only water bottles or sodas with screw caps are allowed in the Vette. No eating ever. Ever.

I have a VERY strict policy of no food products allowed inside my cars. Except for bottled water.

I use the travel buddy drink holder and only carry water in my car. I know myself and am very talented in being able to spill stuff. I also carry a towel behind the passenger seat for just such emergencies. The only food is White Castles, small enough to not make a big mess.

Opened this thread expecting something totally different haha.

In all seriousness though, that's what I call a cleanup!
