try using mineral oil or paint thinner if it wasput on within the last 24 hrs. you could also try hand cleaner without pumice or grit. soak a clean soft cloth and rub. keep the vehicle out of the sun. you may also allow the soaked cloth to cover the stain for a few minutes to soften it and then rub.

Can you stain a deck on top of oil paint?
You should check the label on the specific product you're planning to use. If the label states it will adhere to wood with an existing coating, then it's fine to use even over an oil-based stain. (This is because once thoroughly dried, oil-based stains behave the same as water-based stains.) Some products, however, will require the existing stain to be stripped from the wood, or to apply a primer coat over the existing finish before applying new stain.
Will polyurethane lighten stain on wood?
No, it will not lighten stain, just add another layer. The only way I have ever been able to lighten stain is to sand it off carefully.
How much latex stain should you sand off before applying an oil base stain?

Can you leave stain on your wood panels without wiping it off?
Yes, if it's a gel stain. However, if it's a penetrating stain it will not dry correctly. If you try to clean it, it will smear. If you put a clear topcoat on it, the topcoat will smear the excess stain.

How do you clean wood stain on drywall?
You can wash it off with a moist sponge, but it is likely going to still leave a stain. Drywall is very porous. It is basically paper over chalk. There is just no way to remove some stains. If you want to paint over, but the wood stain keeps bleeding through, cover the stain with a product like Killz. It sometimes takes a couple of coats. Once the Killz is totally dry, the stain should quit bleeding though. It can then be painted over. Just keep in mind, if you are using a water based paint, use water based Killz. If you are using an oil based paint, use an oil based Killz.
