I have several vaseline stains in my back seat. First I tried 303 no go, then I went with the APC+ still nothing, next was isopropyl followed with dishwashing soap still not helping. My wife says she spilt it last week and forgot about it so it is in deep. I am at a loss. Any ideas?
 
Go to the Vaseline website,I have found the companies sometimes have info on how to remove the product
 
Is this a real question? Vaseline in the back seat. I was expecting a punchline.
 
lol...I am not touching this one! Seriously I would give Folex a shot if it's cloth. You didn't specify cloth, vinyl or leather.
 
Hmmm...well I would probably apply an apc or degreaser like simple green or maybe optimum power clean (never used it but heard good results...) and then try and steam clean the seat, blotting up as much as possible. If this didn't work, I would try folex. If this didn't work I'd maybe try and doing what one does to get crayon out...lay down an old cotton tshirt or rag over the spill and try and use your household iron to iron on top of the cloth until the vaseline warms up and soaks into the towel. I did a quick google search because I'd never thought about this before and got this:
