Help please! i need wisdom

I am ashamed today, to call myself a fit owner. I let my sister borrow my beloved fit for a trip. She and her evil children really made a mess. Although my sister did apologize and gave me some cash (20 bucks) for the horror. I tried to clean my car today but there were things i could not get rid of. I've come here to you guys for the wisdom of removing these stains.








I know i may be asking for too much, but please. Can i have info on how to clean these stains, info on the tools, and where i can find these tools?

thanks for your time.

Hmmm get some carpet cleaner and spray it on there and let it sit for a little and then remove it. The carpet cleaner should lift up the dirt and you can clean it off that way. For the plastic, if some regular house cleaning supplies do not work try some simple green or even goo gone. I couldnt really see anything on the front bumper, but if there is a smudge try to clean it off with some simple green or goo gone and then reapply wax. Good luck!

those are the easiest stains to remove dude! go to Prime shine or some where that has a wet vacuum cleaner and a cup of luke warm water with mild soap. pour it on the stain, rub it around with your hand and suck it out with the vacuum. on he plastics, i never use any chemicals, all i use is a wet towel cleans just about every stain.
