    I blew it and now half my bed has dirty gear oil soaked into it. I was going to soak it with degreaser and try and pressure wash it but figured I'd see if anybody has done it before.

    Any advice appreciated. Thanks tw

    The Line-X website may have some suggestions.

    When I worked shipping a lot of Ag chem in the back of pickups it was somewhat common for the odd jug of surfactant, which is just some sort of oil, to leak out into the bed of the truck and stain the bedliner. It was always a bitch to get out but a few good washes with a hotsy and industrial detergent always seemed to do the truck. Some people swore buy soaking the area in Sunlight dish soap for several hours and then hot pressure washing it with soap. That seemed to work as well though I never tried that.

    May have to coat the whole thing to even it out. I'd try that as a last resort though :D

    Make a thick paste of Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) and water - it'll leach it out.

    Edit - Sodium percarbonate (Oxi Clean) might do the trick as well.

    I doubt it'll hurt the LineX but as the labels say - test on inconspicuous area first.
