Center Console

Does anyone know how to clean the center console where the buttons for the phone or preset radio stations are? A friend of mine spilled soda all over my center console and now my buttons are hard to push. They still work but you can tell the soda got inside. Or even a place that could clean them in the inland empire??

get some rubbing alcohol and a micro fiber cloth, the alcohol cleans very good, and it also evaporates super fast so u don't have to worry about damaging anything

Merc, you can take the front cover off the headunit off and remove each button to clean them individually.

^ that would be the best way to achieve a fully clean system,

i took rubbing alcohol and got one end of the cloth soaked with it and just started pushing the button witht he wet cloth end, trying to get as much alcohol into the cracks, and thats how i got my buttons to "feel" normal again, i had coke and crown all over the place in my
