Guest GCRdBlk Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Had a very stupid moment I left a plastic bag with designs/words on the outside on my leather passenger seat, and I suppose because of the heat, a couple of the letters bled onto the leather. Anybody have any idea how to get off? Ive used every leather cleaner/conditioner I have. Anybody know any secrets that might help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 would try a quality leather cleaner and see what that does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Spyder550 Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Try gently working the cleaner in with a fairly stiff plastic bristled brush and wiping away with a cloth. Has removed some nasty crud from my seats... Be sure to condition after you are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GCRdBlk Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Havent found anything yet. still there. someone mentioned letting something soak to soften the leather, but im alittle hesitant about that. other than that, nothing has worked.

Buckeye1647545503 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I have had luck with LEXOL. I put it on a rag super thick and let it soak in the spot then scrub gently with a fingernail brush then wipe the whole seat down with a clean rag.

nathan Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Actually test to see if bleach is going to cause anything to fade on the leather, it might actually work. I have been able to get the writing from bread bags off of our counter tops that way. Clorox wipes might take it right off and not damage the leather. Did you try any rubbing alcohol? Dyes on sacks will generally also come off with a mild solvent such as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazen Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 I have used a degreser to get out hard stans and in the like. Dawn is realy a degreser. Try it with hot water and a plastic bristled brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rane Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 That would suck, leave the grocerys in the car and now your leather seat has walmart imprinted on it :-(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tony_K Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Get a leather cleaner intended for shoes. Kiwi makes one in a little black bottle. It really cleans, 10x better than lexol, but if you use it for more than a few seconds, it will start to take the color off. So have a wet rag ready, rub the area with cleaner for up to 10 seconds, maybe, and then wipe it off immediately. Test in an inconspicuous area first . . .

Guest GCRdBlk Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I failed to mention the seats were tan leather, not black, if that makes any difference. Nothing has worked yet and i have tried everything I could. Still working on it, but the seat still looks like it did in the beginning.

Guest Tony_K Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 See my post above. Little black bottle of leather cleaner by Kiwi, intended for shoes. Get it in the shoe department at a department store. Read the caution I wrote after it. Left on for too long, it will take any dye/coloring off, too -- will take it down to the natural color. So be careful - little at at time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
