Oil Stains in Overalls
Hi, after the engine decided that it wanted to shead some oil, and then leaning against the side of the car, ive now got some oil stains on my
overalls and wondering the best way to remove them, without damaging the suit etc, and i dont really want to wash the suit and the rest of it is fine,
Any recomended products for the job. Any ideas are most welcome. thanks.

Edited to say, Race Overalls, not so sure what the scruits would say about having dirty overalls?

I have dabbed on a lump of swarfega then use a nail brush (sound like you have plenty of those in you manicure set ) to scrub the stain then wahsing
up liquid and water to wash out the swarfega.
note that often what happens is the scrubbing action affects the colour so you may end up with a slightly lighter patch.

Get a sponsors patch sewn over the stain
Dutch bears have terrible skin due to their clogged paws
