Default Freedom Top Oil Stain

I have a winch installed in the ceiling of my garage to hoist my unlimited hardtop. The freedom panels lay upside down (painted surface down, white part up) and unfortunately oil from the motor of the winch dropped onto the panels leaving an ugly stain. Anyone have any suggestions how to remove it? I have the think insulated panels which have a slight texture. I have tried bleach and water, straight bleach, goo be gone, dish soap (diluted and straight). That aside, if I can't remove the stain, does anyone know of any suitable way to cover the stain?

I did the same thing. There looks to be an ugly orange stain from the winch. There is no other explanation as they were clean when I placed on the rack and they sit under the winch. Did you ever get the stain out? I've been unsuccessful so far.

I did try mineral spirits with no luck. I haven't tried acetone or gasoline yet.
