I had to come to an abrupt stop and the soda in my cup holder flew forward and splash all over the radio and climate controls and now some of the radio and climate buttons are sticking, anybody have any idea of how to clean this so the buttons no longer stick? Thanks.

damp terry cloth or soft towel.

WD-40 should clean it and not interfere with anything electric-wise.

I am very hestitant to hose down the radio buttons with wd40, wouldn't the petroleum based lubricant deteriate the plastics.

Think they have a spray can cleaner for cleaning computers. Try a computer store

Are you talking about the "Air Duster" ? Or something else? Air duster will not work as the soda is dry and sticky inside the buttons.

WD-40 will do just fine. Don't even ask how I know.

I'm talking about spraying a little around the buttons so they don't stick, not dousing the whole front of the radio.

I gotta tell you, I think about this all the time when I have a drink in the car. I always put it in the front holder, just because I figure I know when I am going to acclerate, but never know when I will have to brake, and the front one allows very little forward movement for that case.

Did you have it in the front or back holder, I am curious if my logic would save me from a similar fate.

One of the many reasons I drink sugar-free stuff, nothing sticks if it ever spills. But I don't eat or drink in my Vette either.

Not sure I'd spray anything on the interior electronic or otherwise with WD-40. It's a petroleum based lubricant which I don't think meshes well with electronic components.

Get a cleaner designed for electronics or simply use a water damp rag.

Hell yes I drink in the Vette....it's hot here in Arizona.

Besides, it's just a car....not a shrine (my car's parked in the garage and couldn't possibly read this....could it?).

Radio Shack - Its called "Tuner Cleaner". Its been around forever... Is my age showing???

On a somewhat more serious note, I have one of those cashmere colored holders that slips under the passenger side console and I use that exclusively for my drinks. Believe I got it at WCC for around 32 bucks. They even make a two cup model eddie

I was always told... Don't drink and drive, you might hit a bump and spill your drink! It can happen to anyone. I try to be very careful, but I too like a cold (non-alcholic) drink when traveling, but try to keep a lid on it if possible
