The best thing to do with a soda spill is immediately pour hot water on the spots, and press a paper towel on it until the water dry's (which should be quick, cause the water should be really hot, which will help evaporate it) A guy that details concourse (sp?) type cars told me this trick, and it worked great when i left a 20ox pepsi on the seat which I apparantly didnt screw the cap on tight enough... -Nick
