Default Paging phil@detailersdomain!!!

have a question on cleaning leather. A friend of mine left her purse (black leather) on her passenger seat (light tan leather) all day in the heat. It stained the seat. We tried cleaning it up with Mr. Clean magic eraser and then conditioning it with leather conditioner. Do you have any recommendations on other products we can try? It looks 95% better than it originally did. I'm worried we might have taken some of the color out of the tan leather because the black spot in some areas got a lot lighter but seemed to expand to previously unstained areas.

Since this is a car forum, people probably wonder what type of car. This happened to an infiniti G35 coupe.

Default I'm curious too...

I've got dye transfer on my beige seats from my leather belts...plain jane leather cleaner ain't cutting it, and I'd rather avoid the Magic Eraser if at all possible!

Default You will not get black dye out IMHO. I've ordered my next car with black leather seats...

because I was never able to remove the dye marks left from my belt on my current car.

Default I hope you plan to tint your windows.........

otherwise you'll be asking how to remove the black leather that is stuck to your a$$. Those seats get real hot, real quick.
