Snail mucus on headling of my BMW 335d

Threaded View
I recently took a load of garden waste to the dump (now that my council has=
 stopped free collections). A few hours after the trip, I noticed some trai=
ls on the headlining of the car. A rogue snail had concealed itself inside =
one of the bags and escaped during the journey. It covered an impressive di=
stance on the headlining, weaving a wandering path all over the place befor=
e finally perching itself on the front passenger seatbelt.
I'm left with a right mess of snail trail. My choices seem to be:
i) Release a few more snails onto the headlining to cover it more evenly an=
d then pretend that the resulting pattern is a design feature
ii) Clean the snail trail
I'm for option ii), but I fear that I might make a right mess of it. Anyone=
 got any experience of this?

Cheers,

Jim.

Apparently it is best to leave it to dry completely and then brush it off
with a dry nailbrush.

Any holes in the headling from high heels, stilettos or similar ?
