Try Simple Green

Leave it. Makes you look "core".

I wish I could help you, I have a nice grease chainring imprint on the front of a Killington t-shirt from a few years ago when I leaned over the bike when working on it while it was upside down (before I had a stand).

Wish I could help. I have grease all over my clothes. I would go with the Simple Green suggestion...can't hurt.

2nd the Simple Green suggestion.

What do you use for chain lube typically?

I'm curious as to what you use, Marc?

I was using that same stuff until this year when my bike shop didn't have any, so I switched to a wax based lube. The Prolink seemed to work well enough to me, it even stayed relatively clean on the MTB. The wax stuff stays even cleaner though, I'll see how durable it is though...

I'm always worried about the wax stuff building up and caking on.. I think the prolink works great. I just douse it well...and dry it very well with a dry, clean rag. It stays clean and I get a lot of life out of my chain with few if any drivetrain issues.

And, Wa-Loaf, the warming one is better: :beer::beer:

No wax build up or caking for me with the wax stuff, but I wipe off the excess just like I did with the prolink.

Damn selfish men! :angry: Get it right!

Wow. Interesting recommendations. I have nothing to add to one subject of this thread.

However, I do have a suggestion for the original topic. Sev - try pre-treating the spot with Lestoil. It's gotten rid of many grease/oil stains for me. I like to do an extra rinse to get rid of the smell, but it's generally been highly successful for me with all kinds of fabrics.
