Spray nine or goo gone would probably help get rid of that sticky crud faster than your high pressure washer alone. Sounds like someone probably had some sort of grip pad or grip spray applied in there at one point.

i used windex

it took like 10-15 minutes of hardcore scrubing and like half a roll of paper towels though

its like someone used it as part of a bong for a year, the rest of the car was mint except that sombitch being sticky and leaving residue on my CD's

Grab the cup holder cover door, and pull up on it until the cup holders pop out. Then stick your fingers under the woodgrain trim and pop it out. There are 3 clips in the front, I think one on each side, and one in each back corner. Once that is out, there are 2 screws holding the tray in.
