Cary,

Get a can of Brake Clean and spray it on the grease spots.  Then take a
rag and mop up the Brake Clean and grease.  Don't rub the spot, try to
get all the Brake Clean soaked into the rag.  I have seen amazing
results with Brake Clean.

=?iso-8859-2?Q?Can_CV_Joint_Grease_be_Removed_from_Upholstery=3F?=

I found a rear seat from an early '80s Westy at a wrecking yard, which
has a tan cloth upholstery that is very similar to that of the '86
Wolfsbur=
g
cordury material that I am trying to match.  Problem is, some idiot
threw a pair of half shafts onto the lower seat cushion, leaving several
large grease spots on it.  I recall reading in a previous post that
CV joint grease is hard to remove from clothing.  Is this true, and
does anyone have any first hand experience removing this grease from
cloth upholstery?  I don't want to buy the seat, if I can't get it
clean.
Thanks in advance!

Cary
