Spilt coke problem

[Cigaweedz]

Hi all,

I've been an owner of a Kluger Grande since Oct 08 and I'm absolutely lovin' it. Went to Macker's for a bite yesterday night. Here is where the problem starts; I accidentally spilt coke and it went everywhere around my driver side. Some of it landed in the right duct of the air-conditioning. Now, the duct is all sticky and the panes are hard to move. I wanna clean the insides but there doesn't seem to be access anywhere at all. What should I do? Take it to Toyota for detailed cleaning? Surely they don't do insides of the ducting. Should I do the Cleaning by my own but what can I use to clean such a mess? The coke's probably crystalised by now and I've never dealt with something like this, so it's really bugging me. Some advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Nevermind. I'll use some old fashion elbow grease for this.

warm water and a toothbrush to clean the vents mate. Even a small drop of dishwashing liquid to remove all the stickyness. then reapply some vinyl reviver/dressing after it has dried.

Thanks for the advice, natedog. I just did my own thing. Haha. Yes spillige, I'm a bit of a champion. Coke's terrible to clean. It sticks to everything! The driver side was nearly flooded with coke. The Missus wasn't too happy about it as well but I got off light cos she knew I was ****** about the whole thing. Anyway, I managed to clean the vents using wet wipes and a chopstick. Lubricated the panes with WD-40. It's as good as new now! P/S: In order to remove the AC panes of a Kluger, I would have to head to Toyota and get the mechanics to remove the dashboard first, pay them something like $150 for 2 hours work, then head to the cleaners for detailing, not sure how much that would have cost, maybe another $50 and perhaps another 30 minutes to an hour of work. Ouch goes the wallet. On my own, It cost me $5 for the wet wipes, chopsticks were free, and some elbow grease. Time taken: 30 minutes. I've learned my lesson! No more coke in the car -Ciga, using his mobile phone to type.
