try sprinkling some baby powder on it, let the powder absorb the stain, then wash it out. A similar tactic is used to clean up oil spills on the road.
if its tar or oil it proberly won't come out, but try soaking the spot wth liquid dish washing soap over nite than machine wash
windex and baby powder, seriously soak the stain with the windex for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle the powder on and work the stain with a tooth brush
Go to an auto supply store and get tar remover for cars. After you use that, use Lestiol cleaning solution to remove the rest. Good luck.
In the cleaning aisle is a product called Lestoil. It smells like terpantine but I've found it to remove oil stains even once it's already been washed and dried. Hope it helps!
throw the shorts away and invest in another pair.A.lot less trouble and not that expensive.
