I like Goop hand cleaner.. I rub a little dab on oil/grease spots on my shirts all the time. Leave it soak a while then wash. I think it will work on seats too, but after the Goop, I'd wet it and shop vac it like austinjoe13 said.

Did you soak it with hot soapy water first?

Go rent a shampoo vac with a furniture attachment and fill the detergent reservoir with folex concentrate. Go to town on it and it will come up. My seats were black cause a mechanic owned mine for quite some time and the cloth looks new. Aside from the rips

The longer you wait the harder it will be to get the spot out.
