Help Removing Stain on Leather

r2edline · 05-17-2011, 05:40 PM

Hey guys - so I'm having trouble getting this leather stain off my driver's side seat. I don't know what it is or where it came from but nothing seems to be able to get it off.

I tried a few different things, including today I went and purchased Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner to no avail.

I'll post some pics - does anyone have any ideas? Should I just take it to a shop?

It's tough to say for certain but I would suggest the Leatherique Prestine Clean and Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil. This powerful combination deep cleans and conditions the seats so they look and feel like new again. Check out this article with Leatherique to see how it works - http://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-P...r-care-how-to/. If that doesn't work I would spot treat the stain with something like the 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover. Let me know if you have any other questions.

apc diluted might do it with a toothbrush to get into the pores, or a leather brush like from DI.

mr clean magic eraser might work, just dont scrub the heck out of it as its abrasive

possibly its scuffed and the dye has been removed? maybe a re-dye is a more viable option? I'd check with an upholstery repair shop if you cant get it cleaned.

I dont know locations up north too well, but check out Word of Mouth Detailing. Very good work!

hahah i had something similar to this on my car...i used a mr.clean magic eraser sponge on it with water and it came right off...becareful not to over use though because it technically WILL remove part of the leather if you use too much force or too repeatedly. have it looking like new right now
