Chain Lube Clean-up?

Chain Lube Clean-up?
Here is the short version . . .it's ALL OVER the inside of my truck. How do I remove PJ1 Blue Label chain lube from the interior of my truck without taking the color out of the carpet and plastic?

Long version...I make scrap metal/repurposed metal sculptures and had a small one on the seat. I still had the chain lube on the floor from the off road ride the club did last weekend. Had to panic stop for a stupid college kid who rode his bike right out in front of me without looking. Panic stop sent the sculpture sharp edge first into the chain lube can. It sprayed on the headliner, door panel, seat, carpet, windshield, side window, my arm, and my face before I could grab it and throw it out the window. So it got EVERYdamnWHERE inside the truck. The windows were easy enough to clean with degreaser on a shop rag, but I have no idea how to get it off the door panels, seat, and carpet without taking the color out of it.

If the truck is new enough that you have the insurance, it might be covered under your comprehensive. Then ins. might pay for the cleanup by a pro, or recover the stained pieces.

Go-jo works wonders, try it in an out of the way spot first.

CARB CLEANER!!! I tried it on the carpet, and it didn't take the color out, so I tried it on the seat. That worked too. I know I shouldn't use it on the plastic, so still searching for a solution for that. Will try windex as soon as I get to the store.
