Re: oil in upholstery

I'm certainly not an upholstery expert but I've never heard of oil pockets. And I doubt if these would be oil stains.

Please report back on your findings.

Re: oil in upholstery

i have ben in the upholstery buisness fot 47 yerars . never use any oilbase product on vinyal . use a non oil base soap or GOJO hand cleanner . armorall is not good for vinyal . the makers or the vinyal bed cover warenty is voided if you use armorall or such product on their vinyal bed covers . armorall is a sunblocker not a vinyal condishoner.
oil spots could be where suntan oil was spily on the vinyal . if this happen clean as soon as posable
