#1 "Goof off" can find it at home depot

#2 "Citris Solv" forget where you can get it but goof off is best

put it on the stain, rub it in .... put water on it and either wet dry vaccum it out or use a rag

Purple Power! You need to check for colorfastness with your interior, but this stuff rocks! I mix it 1 part Purple Power to 2 parts water in a spray bottle. Spray the stain and let it soak for 5 min. or so. Respray and scrub with an upholstry brush. Then shampoo as normal and suck it up with your carpet cleaner or wet vac.

Carb cleaner does work, but try it on a small spot to make sure it won't stain. What about using a hand cleaner?
