Soda Explodes Leaving Roof Stains

As a mobile detailer with over 20 years of experience and a reputation for excellence, I’ve seen just about every kind of mess inside a car. But nothing quite compares to the disaster caused by a soda explosion. Recently, I had the pleasure of working on a car that had been hit by just such an incident, leaving sticky soda splatters all over the interior roof. Thankfully, with the right tools, techniques, and a little elbow grease, I was able to bring the vehicle back to life, and I’m excited to share the process with you.

Soda is one of the messiest substances that can get into your car. Not only does it create a sticky, sugary residue, but it also leaves behind an unpleasant odor and is tough to clean, especially when it ends up on the fabric of your car’s interior roof. In this case, the client’s vehicle had suffered an unfortunate soda explosion that left the ceiling looking as if it had been painted with cola!

The trick with roof shampooing is not just removing the stains, but also ensuring the material underneath isn’t damaged or saturated too much with moisture. The challenge is real, but it’s one I love tackling.

I used a specialized fabric shampoo designed for automotive interiors, ensuring that it was gentle enough to protect the car’s ceiling material while still being powerful enough to lift out the soda residue. After thoroughly vacuuming the area to remove any loose dirt or particles, I carefully applied the shampoo with a soft brush, gently agitating the fabric to lift the stains. This method prevents damage to the delicate headliner and avoids excessive moisture that could lead to sagging or other issues.

Once the shampoo worked its magic, I followed up with a careful drying process to make sure the fabric was perfectly clean and dry. This is an essential step to ensure the roof doesn’t retain any unwanted dampness or odors.

The before-and-after photos of this job speak for themselves. The transformation is nothing short of amazing—what was once a sticky, stained ceiling is now spotless, fresh, and like new. The interior now looks and smells inviting again, free of any remnants of the soda explosion.

If your car has suffered a similar fate or needs a deep clean, don't wait for the stains to set in. A professional detailer can help restore your car’s interior to its original beauty. Check out the before-and-after images below to see the dramatic difference that a quality roof shampoo can make!

Still Using Meguiar's

As a detailer, I've had an incredibly positive experience using Meguiar's Ultimate Compound.

Moreover, Meguiar's Ultimate Compound is versatile enough to work on different types of paint finishes and colors without leaving any residue or marks.
