I spilled Sour Apple Candy...
Don't laugh, but I was a dummy.
I was on a long trip on the 5 fwy and I had some sour apple candy and at the VERY end of my trip as I was closing everything and putting things away, I accidentally grabbed the bag going the wrong direction and all of the candy came spilling out onto my center console/cup holder section.
My question is, how do I get it out?! I know a vaccum would probably work, but right now it's pouring in california and I'm scared that the humidity will make the candy stick even more and there are tiny crevices in which the sugar and salt fell.
If I take my car in for a detail will they be able to get this stuff out?

Bad hybrid_girl! 
Keep that junk out of your car, and it is horrible on the pearly whites!
It will probably come out OK, I would think that it would have be much warmer to melt all over the place. I would use a damp microfiber towel in this case. It really should be no big deal.

If you spilled the actual candy in places, not just the sugar try using some Kelly clamps (forceps). Those are great for getting into small places that are hard to get to. Also some tweezers might help (try the dollar store if you dont have a pair around). As a last resort, maybe try chopsticks? To get the sugar out use a strong vaccum like a shop vac with a long thin attachment. You might try moving the seats a bit to get the best leverage (assuming it fell between the center consol and the seats)
