I opened an old soda in my car a couple of days ago and the can completely exploded. The roof of my car’s interior got the worst of it. Is there any way for me to clean this?

You can clean the roof of your car’s interior, or the headliner, with some upholstery cleaner and a microfiber cloth.
Beginning with a small amount, rub upholstery cleaner onto the stained area of your headliner with the microfiber cloth. Allow your headliner a couple of hours to dry fully.
If the stain is persistent, switch out your microfiber cloth for a soft-bristled brush. Spray the upholstery cleaner directly onto the headliner and brush in even strokes. Use very gentle pressure on your headliner–they are usually very fragile and scuff easily.
Allow the headliner to dry and try again if the stain is still visible.
