Coke in cupholder+big bump=sticky radio buttons...help!

hey guys

i was driving with a coke in the passenger cupholder. I went over a bump and a little of the coke spilt and made its way inbetween the cracks of the COMMAND "ok" and right/up/down buttons. they are majorly sticky now!
any ideas on how to clean?

Try a warm damp (not wet) towel or clean rag and work it over the buttons and in between very gently. Be patient with it and you should eventually work the syrup (sticky) part of it away. If not try it with a damp Q-tip and work it in well.

Let us know how goes it.

Contact Cleaner

Get a can of aerosol "Contact Cleaner" from electronic store like Radio Shack or Fry's electronic. Easy to use non residual made especially to clean electronic components
