I have a grease or oil mark on my plastic bumper im struggling to get off. Looks like something dripped on it. Tried regular dish detergent and simple green but it doesn't want to come out.

Any ideas?

Won't mess up the plastic?
No but will leave a sort of shine in that area. That can then be washed off.
Normally simple green works for me. WD40 is worth a try - I'd try it in an unseen area first, like at the bottom so only chipmunks or squirrels might see it.

Tried goo gone and Wd40. Its still there. I might just honestly leave it. It might just fade away as time goes by.

There are products made to restore the blackness to plastic parts on vehicles - could try one of those on the whole thing.

Maybe some denatured alcohol? I don't think that will hurt plastic but might want to test in an inconspicuous place first.

I'd say acetone if it were metal. But that would definitely hurt plastic.
