    Removing tool grease in carpet/seats?

    I have a crew cab truck detail coming up and the owner keeps tools in the back seat. As you can imagine there's grease spots on the seats and carpet. What is the best way to clean this out? I don't have any pics sorry. The spots are on the outer edges, as he keeps cardboard down for the most part.

    Apc and folex should take care of it. Use the apc first to get the majority and then folex for remains.

    This is the best advise you will ever get for business.

    Knowing the orign of the stain is a huge plus. Its patroleum based so diluted degreaser will lift it, on the bad stuff use some Goo Gone. If you have a heated extractor it will knock it out. Heat always helps.

Let them know that you'll do your best but again, you're not a miracle worker and also consider what your customer is willing to pay for your services. Time is money and you can easily invest a lot of time into just trying to improve exterior trim for not much money. So educate your customer on the reality of the damage at hand and simply state that you'll do the best you can.
