Diesel on shoes - how do you remove?

[ronnie_07]

My bloke had some new timberland type nubuck shoes on and he was filling up the car with diesel and a drop fell on his boot. It was about a week ago. It looks like a water stain.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what will remove the stain.
His boots are a light camel colour so I am scared as to what to use to ensure I dont stain the boot whilst trying to remove the actual stain!
Thanks all

You could contact the manufacturer for advice, but i think 'FULLERS EARTH might help. Good luck and happy new year

Not exactly recommending this but I have a couple of pairs of the camel Timerlands and dropped all sorts on them at work,including olive oil.I used to jetwash them! We had one at work. Guess he could go wash the car and do his boots at the same time (I am serious I promise,worth a go)
