OK, so I put my chainsaw in the cab (in it's case) because I was going into the store & wanted it to be there when I returned. Well, it leaked gas & 2 cycle oil on my f@#$*n seat! Anyone know what to use to get that crap out?

 

I would try a steam cleaner...if you don't have one, some self spray car washes have them. I've also had good luck with Woolite Foam Carpet Cleaner. Good luck!

 

is your seat leather or cloth?

 

I have heard Armour All Upolstery Cleaner works wonders

 

I owned a carpet and upholstery cleaning company and had a little experience with this.

In one case a man's child had opened a quart of graphite oil (remember that 50,000 mile motor oil back in the 80's) and poured it all over the back seat of a new Mercedes. Carpet and seats were just black with the stuff. I used a wet vac and about 2-3 gals of dry cleaning solvent to get it all out. Must have taken me 2-3 hours of spraying and sucking, spraying and sucking...

On another call a roofing company had poured hot tar on a roof and it poured through a hole in the roof and through the ceiling all over an upholstered chair. Once again, the best thing to use was a solvent. Once most of the oil or tar is removed then you can do a wet cleaning (shampoo or steam cleaning).

 

Grey Cloth, sorry.
