To remove stains-

To remove stains the surface tension that bonds them must be released, then the stain encapsulated and held in suspension to be removed. When cleaning a stain, try detergent and water first. If this does not remove the stain, then try a stronger type cleaner (303'M Cleaner & Spot Remover) once fabric is clean apply a fabric protection (303TM High Tech Fabric Guard)

That's what I said. Let me clarify - it's my jeep that I bought for my WIFE. She's the one complaining. Aye.

Soap and water didn't work. So, I will use your approach. Man, you're good.
