Default Red leather blue jean stains - Solution?

Let me start by saying that I do not regret in any way (so far a 4800 miles in) getting the red leather on my S5 SB. However, today, I noticed blue dye on my seats. I want to remove this properly and avoid making a larger mess and spreading it to the stitching. Any advice or recommendations on products/cleaning methods?

Thanks in advance!

I get the same stains, I've found a damp cloth sufficient in removing them.

I love using the Adam's line of products. We have a local dealer here that sells the line, the products work really well, and Adam has a ton of videos on his site (and a forum like this one) that demonstrates how to use the products. The web address is Adam's Polishes | Premium Car Care Supplies

I use Meguiars Gold Class Leather conditioner on mine every month and it does a pretty good job removing stains and dirt! It also leaves a great leather scent on it.

Don't under estimate a magic eraser. Use very lightly and then condition the seats with one of the above mentioned products.

I used car pro leather, it seals the leather for 1 year or longer. They are also the makers of CQUK ceramic coatings and make a long list of great products.

I would avoid this. Modern leather seats, with few exceptions, have a vinyl coating. Magic Eraser is an abrasive product - you are not only removing any stain, but also a portion of the protective coating of the seats.

If you don't want to break the bank, just grab Megs Leather cleaner and conditioner.
