    Oil Stain off of Soft Shell?

    Was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to get an oil stain out of a soft shell?

    If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from, then you wouldn't have to ask me, who the heck do I think I am.

    Does the water still bead there? If so, leave it.

    ok, so not soft shell but i got a couple of oil/grease spots out of my white goretex pro shell jacket with some judicious toothbrushing with paint thinner and blotting with paper towels to the affected area. Followed up with vigorous round of scrubbing the spots using undiluted nix wash tech wash to ensure thinner was bye bye.

    was prob about 2 months ago, and so far no issues, no stains.
