Airhead Candy
« on: June 28, 2011, 07:02:52 PM »
Ok, so first off no pics until I start working on it, i know i know.  Buuuut, an airhead melted on the carpet in a spot about the size of a quarter.  What are the tricks?  Would the ice trick work for this one?

Is that the yellow stuff? 


If so, how about just putting some ice on it until it hardens up then peal it off?

Ir APC+ 10:1 on it....or what about Folex?   

Thanks for visiting the Cafe, come back often.  There's always something new!

I would try ice.  If that doesn't work, I have had some luck with heat from a hairr dryer, and using a NIT comb to get a lot of it out. Then using ice, APC+ and a razor blade to shave the rest off.. very, very carefully with the razor blade.

You can get a NIT comb from most drug stores.  It is used to remove headlice.  I have one with metal teeth, and it has saved me several times.

Its the cherry flavor... so red... on black carpet in a Mercury Mariner.

And thanks guys... i'm going to tackle it probably this evening if I get a chance.  It's in a friend's car and not a customer's car which is nice.
