Use protective gloves, plastic goggles, and a mask, and ideally wear work clothes that should be kept in a safe place, out of reach of children or pets. Trichloroethylene is a powerful stain remover and can be used to remove practically all stains, but it must be handled with caution due to its toxicity, and always outdoors.

Never use it in a closed garage; keep the vehicle outdoors with all doors wide open while using it. It was once commonly used for home stain removal and can be found on all e-commerce platforms for just a few pounds. Just remember to use it with great care.
