Thanks Guys! Castrol Super Clean? Wow that seems a little harsh. That stuff will eat your side panels if left on to long.

I used it on my coat about 15 times and never had a problem so far, just throw it in the washer right away, use hot water a bit of regular detergent like Tide or Sunlight.

actually found that abit (maybe as much as a cup) of simple green works pretty damn well. it is a degreaser, and it isnt harsh

Use Starting Fluid. I used to work in a trucking terminal and had grease on dress shirts and jackets all the time. Works good and leaves no residue.

About $5 and a trip to the dry cleaners will usually do the trick.

I have a 05 blue and white yamaha fxr jacket and got rope grease on the arm and this what I used to get it cleaned safely.
1. Fast orange hand cleaner (citris type) only. Ace Hardware.
2. Clean white tee shirt cut in 6x6 pcs to be used as rags.
3. Add the fast orange cleaner direct (DRY) to surface and lightly with white tee rags and rub to clean.
4. Rinse thourghly and repeat if necessary.
5. After clean, wash with Oxyclean per directions or just the area.
My jacket looks like new, good luck.

If it's made of Gore-Tex, I'd suggest NOT having it dry cleaned.
Shhh, that's supposed to be an industry secret.woolyviper said:Use Starting Fluid. I used to work in a trucking terminal and had grease on dress shirts and jackets all the time. Works good and leaves no residue.

Works great as a parts cleaner for the same 'no residue' reason.
