OK, so I had a shock cap pop off and the oil spilled onto one of my favourite T-shirts.

How do I get the stain out?

(I tried Spray N' wash dual power and it didn't even touch it....)

FYI, the oil was Associated 30wt silicone, LOL!

Been there done it myself , it really sucks...It would never happen with an old shirt

..I also tried the spray n wash, didn't work...

Try Murphy’s Oil.

Usually used as a furniture polish, but this stuff is great for stains – particularly hydrocarbons.

A little right on the spot, give it a rub and throw it in the machine with your usual detergent. Works wonders.

Hope this helps!

May sound stupid, but try using a can of coke in the wash.

I have yet to need this "trick", but I have been told that it works with oil stained rags, etc.

Thanks guys, I knew I could depend on you.

I guess us R/C guys are a lot more domesticated that weappear, LOL!

This would be why i rarely work on r/c's in my own clothes. In the evenings I just keep on wearing my work uniform (all black). However on weekends if I know ill be downstairs working on them, I just grab whatever shirt I dont really care about.

If the shirt is newer and replaceable, just buy a new one. But being that its a fav, probably not.

Good luck with the stain
