grease stain on seat

The other day a couple of my real buds plus one "sorta" friend were helping me prepare my 305 to be pulled. After they all went home, i noticed a greasy hand print on my passenger seat. i know it wasn't my real friends cuz they would admit it. i am gonna kill that other kid. Anyway, how do i get it out of the fabric?

you seen that stuff on TV oxy clean that works pretty good. couple others Ive tried but cant remeber their names right now but they all worked pretty good the oxy clean was the best though. I was taking some oil over to the recyler and a little bit sloshed out on my grey carpet put som oxy clena on it and it came right out.

Oxy clean is great stuff on cloth(but pricey).
My friend loves Greased Lightening (I don't think it works as well as oxy clean, but it's cheaper).
Blue Coral dri clean seems to be fair, I never tried it on grease, but for dirt it's good.
I've never Power Clean or Simple Green just because I thought they might be a bit strong for fabrics.
M30 hand cleaner isn't too bad either for getting grease out,, but it take the most work (it's easier using it on the carpet)
A small amount of liquid laundry detergent works too (but involves cleanup work like M30)
Can't think of anything else I've used right now but I've got pleanty of research spots in my 'bird.

Just goto murrays and ask for products made for getting grease out of upholstery (i hate that word). I went there a few weeks ago to see what would get antifreeze out of the carpet and they helped me fairly good.

I ****ing hate Murrays. I used to work for those A-holes and I'm never sending another cent their way. Anyway, what product got antifreeze off the carpet? Sounds like it would do the trick here.

Simple Green will work just fine. Spray some on a wet cloth and carefully blot the are with the grease. After it's gone, continue blotting with a damp rag to get all the residue out. It'll look brand new!

I had really bad grease stains all over my interior and I used "GM cleaner". You buy it right from the parts counter at your local GM dealer and it is only like $3.00 a bottle. It comes in what looks like a spray nine bottle. Spray it right onto the grease spot and take a brush and work it in. As you brush it will come right out. I saw my frined do this with his gray interior and it work amazing on my red interior. It was the only thing I used that took all of the stains out.
