Does anyone know how to get chapstick out of car interior??
UGH!! Car is not even a week old!!!!
Thanks in advance!!!
Nicole:eek:
 
Would it work like getting candle wax out of carpet. Lay a paper bag over the wax and iron it. Don't try this unless someone confirms that this will work because I've never done it.
 
It works for candle wax I don't know why it would be any different
 
Sometimes the heat will "set" the stain and you may have a permanent stain... call the dealership and ask them. They may need to call the company directly. Good luck!!

What about a product from Menard's called Capture. Works great on carpets and traps the yucky stuff. Just a thought.
