Jeans bleeding onto leather seats?

Has anyone had this problem? I just realized my new jeans have bled onto my coral red leather drivers seat. To those that have had this problem, what did you use to remove it? It hasn't stained the leather, luckily. I wasn't sure if there was a better method than just applying leather cleaner to it.

Thanks!

wash your jeans a few times before you wear them in your car?

Happens to me still on a particularly dark pair of jeans after easily a dozen washes. It's crazy.

The blue shadow wipes right off with some Zymol leather cleaner, though.

It's your jeans, not your seats. Applying cleaner is fine.

I can't stand how dirty my coral red gets! Even my belt has made a stain on the backrest of the chair! Wtf? So the zymol one works well? I heard it was too harsh, as a matter of fact a leather care guru told me to use noxema FACE wash to clean it! He said if its good enough for the pores on ur face then its good for the pores on the leather.

It works fine for me, but it's also the only one I've used for any period of time. As far as harshness goes -- my hands always feel weirdly soft/moisturized when I'm done cleaning with it, so I'm not concerned

I've used both Zymol conditioner (the kind Target stocks) and Zymol Treat (the expensive one) and they seem to do the job. If I had dark leather I'd probably be more anal about proper conditioning.

I've heard good stuff about leatherique pristine clean and then following it up with the rejuvinator.
