Multi Media buttons stuck

Hey guys, I accidently spilled a few drops of soda in between a few of the multi media buttons, luckily there the buttons I don't really use a lot, "Back & Option".

Is there a "safe" way of getting the buttons to work smoothly like it once did? Right now they're moving a bit "sticky".

Garage List
I would use an alcohol cleaner and let it dry up really well. Shouldn't stain but try it in an inconspicuous place first

Yes, I was going to suggest isopropyl alcohol. It should dissolve cleanly and won't harm electronics as long as they are off when you use it. Make sure the ignition of the car is totally off (shut the doors, etc) and then lightly apply it to the sticky buttons. I have applied this directly to computer circuit boards many times and it works great.

Cool, I'm going to try this for sure when I get home.

Thanks
