Edit: Finally!

Used the goo stuff on the spots directly then tuff stuffd the rest. No. Spots.





Well i thought going to get them steamcleaned would do the trick, but no.

Neither did a good usage of tuff stuff.


Heres the backstory...

Buddy thought it would be cool to eat a wendys burger and got like 5 spots on my passenger seat

After the afformentioned attempts, the spots are still there. Anyone else have to deal with this with good results or is wendys grease concrete?

i know man, it looked good until it was fully dry!

maybe a mild degreaser could work? like dawn or something? just scared it will do more than take out the stains...

try buying a bottle of simple green. its a degreaser that comes in concentrated form. that way, you can dilute it to your liking and use it on your seat....

Just an idea, I take no responsibility if it ruins your seats lol

hmm didn't think of that. i already tried some dish soap (degreasant) diluted in a lot of water... didn't help. but thats dish soap i should try simple green. if it fails i'm suing you

Mom to the rescue as stains are my specialty.

Dish soap or liquid laundry soap

Use an old toothbrush to scrub it into the stain. Use a wash cloth, and shop vac to rinse it a few times to get all the soap off. Give it time to dry, and let me know what the stains looking like after, and I'll give you more steps

Oh and dish soap would be the better choice for this, but a lot of the time liquid laundry soap does the trick.

Don't dilute it to much, or it's not going to work, and make sure to use a toothbrush.

I'm the girl that got black hair dye off a white wall without having to paint
I got pink hair dye out of a white carpet, and black nail polish off a carpet.

There is not a stain I cannot get rid of.
