Okay so me being a bit careless i set a brand new car battery in my back seat meaning to return it to the store as i had gotten the wrong one. Long story short I forgot about it bc a lot of things have happened in the last couple of week. Unfortunately the battery tipped over on its side a few days ago and leaked all of the liquid contents all over and in my cloth seats. I have neutralized with baking soda as much a I possibly could the day i found it by applying the baking soda and then rinsing it, probably about 10 time. (All of the bubbles/ reactions stopped at 9 but i did it one more time for safe measure). Well today i looked back at the seat and i looks like there are new stains slowly coming to the surface and iMm worried I didn’t neutralize all of that acid. Any tips? I have no way to extract the extra water and my fear it that the acid will continue to eat away ate the seat if I can’t neutralize it all. Also, this my or may not be related but i had put a hand full of change (all brand new looking changes and mostly made up of pennies) in my center console a few days before the acid spill, and today all of the pennies are half way corroded, I’m starting to worry that the acid some how bound to the water as it was evaporating out out of the seat and into my really hot car and is slowly coating everything. Any advice would be extremely appreciated!!
