Monster allll over my car

hey guy, looking for alittle helping advice here.
I'm a Monster Energy Rep at school, and I left a can of purple monster in my car for a week in the winter and it decided to explode in my car. (I know, i've waited awhile to deal with this!)
Anyway, the entire interior (including ceiling fabric, leather, dash) is shotgunned with purple monster dots. Any good ideas on how to get these out, especially out of the fabric?? Any thoughts would be helpful!

Ouch.. that sucks. Sucks even more that you waited so long... may not be able to get it out.

Anyway, you may have some better luck here: https://acurazine.com/forums/wash-wax-23/

A friend had this happen to his Chevy Silverado when he parked it at Phoenix's airport. He came back after his flight to discover a diet coke can exploded all over the interior.

Took him a weekend of using spongs to cleaners, dabing and soaking up the stuff on the seats and floor, the headliner never came clean even with Resolve it looks like someone was murdered inside the truck.

Good luck

^^ Did your friend wait 9 months to start to clean up the diet coke mess?

No something like 3-4 days, he was on a business trip.

It also didn't help that it was July in Phoenix.

To this day his wife and him still disagree on who left the diet coke in his truck.

Sell your car to monster and let them explode a bunch of them inside?

By this point, it's probably better to pour Monster over the rest of the interior so it matches

Go get some Folex. It's taken up some cola stains that have been there for years.
