C'mon Brady! Col. Flashman!
He's got a early 60's (I believe) red pickup and usually is wearing a hat. He's the Thespian of the Chapter.
Haven't seen Flashy or Anaheim Drew post in a looong time. I think Griff fell off the edge of the planet as well.

1958 MERCURY M100 Styleside Pickup.
I know this, cuz his truck has been in my driveway. I can prove it by the oil drippings it left on my (formerly) pristine concrete!

Simple Green, 409 (the cleaner, not the chebbie engine), Tide, wild mule p!ss, Oxy (doesn't) Clean, white vinegar...nothing works, even using a steel scrub brush.
It's been over a year, so...the spots are slowly fading away.
btw: Flashy and Ferd Burfle, the owner of Leaking Lina, are also pals. Both trucks are red, both are 6 bangers, both leak like sieves!

Once that oil soaks in, it's a lot tougher to get rid of the stain.
You can mash some dri - sorb or kitty litter in there (once the water dries off) and let it suck the stain out, but it takes a while.

Oxy 'Doesn't' Clean is an apt name, it doesn't work worth a damn, even on clothes.
Over hyped infomercial product!
LOL!
What infomercial product does work worth a damn?

With 5 Basset hounds, who needs any more trouble?
Kitty litter works great--for my purpose.
Heat it up in a pan for 20 minutes or so, stick it in a gun safe to remove any moisture trapped within.
Also works to deodorize a vehicle of cigar/cigarette smoke, or has sat out in the back 40 for a spell, where rodents have taken up residence in the interior.
Specifically...in the seat material = PHEW!

"Leaking Lina" the '54 I refered to, is owned by the fellow you spoke with on the phone.
This is the same truck that has been his daily driver for over 26 years, and has been driven as far away as Utah recently.
This truck defines the word patina. Hell, it predates the term patina. Before there was "patina" trucks, these piles were known as practical pigs.
Mangy on the outside, restored mechanically.
btw: Leaking Lina was the name of the boat from the old 1950's TV show Beanie & Cecil, which ran on Channel 5.
