    Rub it with peanut butter and marshmallow creme. Then crumble some graham crackers on it and see if the dog will lick it off.

    Trying to fit two bikes into a Camry gets interesting. Especially when your husband is 6'4". His bike seat is at my elbow height.

    To get the chain grease off the car seat I mixed together some Dawn & Lysol all-purpose cleaner in a tub of water then took a scrub brush to it.
    I also use my Camry for bike transport -- tan interior, beautiful chain grease "scars". I'll try everyone's recommendations -- especially Zen's!

    Now.... does anyone know how to sew up the seams where the dog's foot broke through?

    I can highly recommend the Saris Bones bike racks. Sucks if you have to leave your bikes because they don't exactly lock but when I was driving a car that rack saved my life. Now they come in all sorts of awesome colors. I got a lot of compliments on it, even from folks who weren't perverts saying "Nice rack."

    In the mean time dish soap does cut grease as I have learned after several camping trips.

    I use a carpet cleaner called Resolve. I spray it on - let it sit for 2 - 3 minutes and then scrub with an old tooth brush. It works for my tan interior.
    I barely have any traces in my car.
    I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy it.

    Goo-Gone worked great on my area rug. Same thing, chain grease.
