Tuff Stuff. It's in a yellow can with a yellow lid. It's pulled out any stain I've ever had

Walmart sells it. I'll vouch for it too, it works hands down the best out of everything I've ever tried.

Simple Green always works for me. Use a scotch pad or a brush when scrubbing.

Whatever you use to scrub the stain, have the garden hose and wet/dry shop vac ready to rinse it out. A few years back I bought a Geo Tracker soft top from a smoker. Spent a weekend scrubbing and hosing that puppy out, top to bottom. After you dampen the cloth with the hose, start scrubbing. Do a section at a time. Have the hose barely turned on and in a spray mode while you use the shop vac (in wet mode w/o the filter) to rinse and suck away all the dirt. Acts just like a rented carpet steam cleaner.

I like Permatex hand cleaner for grease stains, its like Go Joe but no pumice and its safe on fabrics. Or with a 50/50 mix of Simple Green, spray down the area and work it in with your finger nails and let it soak for a few minutes and follow that with a heavy water rinse (spray bottle) and vacuum with a wet/vac a couple of time.

Best way to get smoke smell out is Fabreeze. I used it on leather chaps. My Mom told me. :))
