    I am sure someone here has had this problem before, I had a small gas spill in the back seat of the truck. I tried baby oil and then soap and water. Did an okay job but I am looking for good as new. Is this possible? Thanks for any advice.

    What about a small carpet cleaner?

    This along the lines of what I was going to suggest. What you need is an upholstery attachment to an extractor (carpet cleaner). Use some “spot remover” that is made for oil or petroleum based stains and then use the hottest water you can in the machine. There is also a “scent” additive to add to the water but that will just cover the smell and not take it away. You may need to “extract” it several times.

    Scent Blocker Scent remover.
    It may take a coule of applications, but that is what I did once and it worked good!
