Hi, I spilled some food (sour cream) in the front seat which are ventilated. What is the best way to get it out/clean it?
Also, what would be a good/easy way to get a shine on the exterior after a car wash. It black exterior, any product out there where you can spray on the wet car and then wife it down to get a shine after a car wash?

Sour cream? Burn the car.

1) Very carefully with a toothpick and vacuum cleaner, assuming it's stuck dry in the holes by now
2) Dont buy a black car

For the seats use a leather cleaner with a good soft brush to agitate the cleaner in the leather and holes and use a shop-vac followed by a rise-dry rag.

For exterior take a look at plus a ceramic coating that should help for maintenance wash.

Another approach is to take it to a good detail shop have then detail the car, add a ceramic coating and then learn to do maintenance wash.

Hope that helps.

Vacuum, moisten, vacuum some more. If there is some residual left in the holes, I find that an opened up large paper clips is just the right diameter to gently poke each hole one by one to clean out residue. Hopefully it doesn't stink after that.

Don’t eat in the car is the best way to avoid accidents. I’d personally take it to a detailer for the seat.

Don’t eat food but, kept chipotle bowl and went to pick it up and it wasn’t **** properly and it fell on the seat.

So pissed at myself for keeping it on the seat.

I will try the methods mentioned and then if it doesn’t work. Will take it to a detailer.

I don’t want to spend on ceramic. But need a good wax spray recommendation that I can apply after a wash and rub it dry.

We all make mistakes and I’ve made plenty. Don’t beat yourself up. I’m sure you can either find a method or call some detailers and ask if they can fix. To keep it clean I make sure I wash all the grim off with a powerful spray (I think 90 psi) then either wash myself or take it to a hand wash car wash. Paint always holds up with very few swirls.

For a good spray use "Last Coat Spray Sealant" it is a must.
