Soda Can Blew Up in Trunk, Help?
Title.
I don't know if it was the extreme variations in temperature down south here in Georgia over the past week but it went from the mid 70s to the low 30s and then back up again to the 70s over the course of the last 10 days. A can must've escaped my cooler or something because when I went to open my trunk, I noticed quite a sticky situation along with an exploded Dr. Pepper can...
Needless to say, this isn't one of my finest moments but what is the best way to clean this mess? It looks like it exploded underneath my cargo net so the entire fabric above the tire storage area is coated with 50 grams of sugary syrup and I'm quite honestly confused as to how to clean this. Is this something that's just going to require a lot of damp cloths and wiping along with leaving the trunk open for some natural UV drying? Anyone else been through this? Any suggestions or advice would be useful!
Side note: My Owner's Manual was also in the trunk...now, I'm planning to keep this car but in the event that I need to sell it - Where do I get a replacement Owner's Manual? I've heard some places requiring that as part of trade-ins/sales now.

Maybe you'll get to do some shows up in the Gwinnett County area or at least the ATL Metro?
