    Our four-year old was feeling creative on the way home from a restaurant this evening; decided to decorate the window next to her...

    Windex removed the crayon marks from the window and from the cloth arm rest as well!

    Speaking of crayons, my kids routinely bring home the crayons they get at the restaraunts. A few times, they have placed them into the little side hand hold wells of the rear door handles.

    Of course I rarely check back there so see what kind of mess they made. But I did check once - and found a perfectly melted cauldren of crayon wax in each cup. I guess the interior temps during a hot day are more than adequate to melt those little buggers.

    I have yet to get it all out.

    If you can get down to the phillips screw, take out the cups and set them upside down in the sun on a hot day on some paper towels. Use the temp to do the work... Easy to re-install when they are clean.
