Dry out a flooded car?
So I just got a call from my wife. Turns out she left all four windows all the way down and it poured while she was working. Puddles on the seats and the floor etc. And ofcourse I get to clean it all up now.
So... whats the best way to clean this up and get it nice and dry so it won't mold and stink forever?

Yeah, like others have said, unless you take out ALL of the interior, you WILL have mold/mildew.
Take everything out and wash it, and then properly dry it.

Sounds like a two person job to me...
Plus cleaning it would really drive home that whole "remember to roll the windows up" idea.
(Before your wife gets pissed at a guy saying this, I'm a girl too and I'd be out there ripping the interior out myself and hoping someone would be nice enough to help me.)
