I'm in desperation mode.... I tried the potato, magic erasers, simple green, wax cleaners, soft scrub.
I really need help  :banghead:

I once had a problem with some nasty stains on my bench seat. I was taking 4 new tires for my 5th wheel to the storage at the river. Well dumbass me didnt put towels under them, and just laid them on the seat not thinking twice about it. Well when I pulled them out lo and behold, nasty stains all over them :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: and my seat is white. It seems the oils iin the tires leached onto the upholstery. I tried everything, that was suggested to me, and I mean EVERYTHING, to no avail :banghead:. Well, and this is dumb luck, my canopy that I keep over my boat while at home, basically rotted away. So the boat sat out in the sun all day for about 2 to 3 weeks, until I got a new canopy. Next thing you know the stains just faded away, and are gone :screwy: :screwy:   just my .02

Try orange hand cleaner with the grit in it. I've always had good luck with it.

I'll try the hand cleaner.  I have some steel wool and soap but I don't think it stands a chance.
I'm trying everything you guys can come up with.
I really appreciate your ideas, I'm out.

cover it with vinyl paint

That will be a last resort, I actually thought of having a friend of mine that is an artist and I mean
ARTIST put a bit of a mural over the bad part.   

It just makes me sick!

hell, autozone brake cleaner works on EVERYTHING For me, lol i used it to take the vinyl coating off my boat rims, and they shine like no tomorrow, and it took the grease out of my carpet, it took the old roll on bed liner in my engine compartment off, i would give it a try, spray it on a towel and rub the spot, soo how it works. BTW what caused the stain? i have a slight rust ring from when a 5 gallon container of VP sat on the seat

Just an update.   Nothing worked.  The stain is still there, it did fade a bit but far from good.
It was some sort of reaction to the tan rubber floormats I had over top of the ski deck to protect it
from the 2x4s that support the cover.
