The ice box in my trunk spilled water into the trunk and I'm like, shit! What am I gonna do?
After a simple look into the lower compartment of the trunk, I found the drainage plugs below the jack holder. Knowing that I can flush the trunk, I decided to give it a good clean as it's filled with grease and asphalt. Here's how to do it.
Remove everything from the trunk, that includes the spare tyre, the emergency triangle, the jack etc.
Look for the drainage plugs. It looks something like the picture above.
Use a flat head screw driver to lift the plug off.
Start washing. You can use your car detergent or a normal kitchen detergent with an old sponge. After washing, do wipe the trunk with a dry cloth to make it easier to dry. Be careful with wiring in the car. Some cars may have wiring for license plate or tail lights or even speakers or your 6 disc CD changer. Try not to wet electrical sensitive items or your cushions.
Ta-daa! All cleaned up. Leave the car under the sun to dry. Make sure it is really dry before installing drain plugs and placing back the items into the trunk. Having water retained in the trunk may cause metal tools to rust.
Do comment if you have any questions or if you'd like to correct me or share your experience.
Cheers.
