TURKEY GRAVY Spilled on Paint! What To Do???
NEED HELP!!
A real PORSCHE man always wants to spend as much time as possible in his car. So this year I decided the best place to have Thanksgiving dinner is right in my car.
Unfortunately I have spilled Turkey Gravy on the paint. What should I do? is there some compound or chemicals that will take off this stain? Is there some buffing machine that will remove it? Should I repaint the bad spot or should I repaint the whole car??? Has anybody had a simular experience with Gravy??
Also there is some possible cranberry stains on the interior. Does anybody think that Lexol or some conditioner will lift these stains? I dont know what to use that wont hurt the materials. I dont know whether to use some cold water or Shout it out.
But now there is also something causing the dash lights to flash. I looked over the engine and dont see anything. But the exhaust seems to have some smell thats like Pumpkin Pie. Whats up with that?? Is that one of those RMS symptoms??
I need advise! Is it time to sell?? Should I try to have it fixed under warrantee? Or maybe use my insurance?? What to do? Do you think its a coincidence that all this happened on Thanksgiving Day?? Whats Going On???

I'm assuming that the dinner itself was also prepared within the car... By now I hope you took out the 2nd turkey you were cooking in the engine compartment... (you did cook a 2nd turkey didn't you?!?...) Otherwise you may find yourself facing Bob's predicament... If at the end, the stains don't come out, the smells don't go away, and your engine w/turkey is on fire... You should seriously consider dumping your car. And a good place may be a Ford dealership
