I am in big trouble
Ok so at my bro-inlaws and sisters (where i live) there are alot of practical jokes that go around. And lately there has been this really ugly candle roaming around the hosue from peoples rooms. Well last night as I was aobut to lay down i see this ugly candle in my BED. So i take it out and I put it in my siters car on the back part where there is like the window thing thining she would see it when she looked back!

WELL SHE DIDNT SEE IT!! and i live in new mexico so it melted.

This is where the problem is I need to figure out a way to get the was out of the fabric.

I thought of a rug doctor with hot thot hot water in it.
ANYONE GOT ANY GOOD IDEAS????

This is the best I can do.

Don't leave a candle in a car in New Mexico.

Use newspaper or paper bags and an iron.

First try to scrape up as much as you can, then place the paper bag over the wax and the iron on the paper bag on low heat. Keep using clean paper bag until it's gone.

First cool or freeze it with ice in a baggie. Then scrape off what you can.

After that, then do the hot treatment.

You could write the people who do "Pimp My Ride" and see if they'd fix your sister's car for you.

That would really suck of course, having your sister's ride pimped instead of yours, but them's the breaks.

I did that once with a candle lantern that was in my pack.Melted into my rear fabric seat. Never carried candles again. Switched it to lamp oil & then did away with it completel. Might use it for back-up in power failures but I have other multiple back-ups & a generator. (rural living)

I'd torch the car to cover the crime.

So did it come out?

And did your sister appreciate the joke? Or is she gonna raise your rent or kick you out now?

Jeez...and I thought I gave him some good advice. I saw lots of helpful hints on the google listing I referenced.

what ruby said. If you still see some coloring go to the store and buy carpet cleaner (hot spot) magic on carpets, and magic on pretty much everything else too.
Not sure about wax, but I am sure it should get out any discoloration from the wax.
