Hey Oppo, so I have a dilemma. I recently had a pretty bad sore throat and resorted to carrying large amount of cough drops with me, two that were left in the cup holder in my car. Unfortunately the Texas heat decided to mess with me and melt both of them in my cupholder and now theres this nasty dried up residue of throat lozenges in my cup holder. I've tried almost everything from soap and water to TKO orange cleaner. Any advice getting this gunk out of my cup holder?
Have a Zonda.

I've had success with windex getting some unknown stuff out of crevices in my last car.

Goo gone?
Or some white vinegar. Or some isopropyl alcohol, maybe?

Cough drops are mostly water soluble. If you can remove your cupholders it'll make the task easier. Heat melted them in the first place, so let them soak in warm water for a bit. Like fill the kitchen sink (or bathtub, depending on how big the piece they come out with is) and dump them in there. They're only plastic, right?
Also, for next time, Buckley's. It works better.

If you can test some of these suggestions on a non visible piece of that type of plastic, do that. I was trying to get something off an air box this year and used Goof Off. It ate up the plastic itself.

if they're removable- try freezing the cupholder then chip it out

B12 Chemtool.
Just, uh...make sure that your cup holders aren't made of any kind of styrene. Also, don't get it on anything else. ANYTHING.

from my experience detailing cars, soak them in soap (Or citronella based degreaser) and water and keep scrubbing it out.
