My problem is that being in a hurry i did not work the Swarfega in deep
enough or well enough, and then went on to wash it.

So its now 'set' into the trousers. *Grateful for any further suggestions.

Aerosol SHOUT (if you can still find it)

I had a power supply squirt hydraulic fluid on a pair of light
colored pants.

I washed them twice pre-treating with Aerosol SHOUT and the stain was
gone.
