Horrible trunk accident... Anyone have any ideas on how to get EagleOne tire shine gel out of my trunk upholstery? I just bought the bottle and didn`t know it was leaking until too late. :(

I can`t seem to blot it up and it`s really greasy.



Thanks!!!

Here`s what you do:



1. Take the carpet out

2. Go to the dodge dealership

3. Get a new piece of carpet.



:D



That stuff is sooooooo greasy! Yucka!! Good luck with it. I`m not sure what you can do. If it is carpet you can take out then I guess you could take it to a car wash and pressure wash it till it comes out. I`m not sure how you will get it all out though. That stuff never dries either. Its like having an oil slick in your trunk. Sucks, dude...

Here`s what I recommend (it`s the only way I was able to take it out of a pair of pants an ex-g/f purposly spilled Eagle 1 tire gel on):

1: Take carpet out of trunk

2: Get a big bottle of Dawn

3: Wash the **** out of the carpet using strictly dawn soap and a brush to start and then start to water it down. Make sure you rinse all the water out of the carpet.

4: If this doesn`t work....try a can of Brake Clean. I know it sounds bad, but I`ve used it on a white shirt before and it worked pretty well to take out grease.

5: If it still doesn`t work....like "Jngrbrdman" said...go buy a new piece.

OK... i am desperate to get this stuff out, my trunk liner is in excellent condition except for that.



I will definitely try this and let you know how it goes. Does it have to be Dawn, or will any liquid dish soap do?



Thanks for the suggestions!

Probably any soap will do. Dawn is really good at cutting grease so that is probably why it was suggested. You just need lots of soapy soapy. Good luck. :up
