Have a few deep dark lines on my leather seats. Any ideas how to remove? Griots cleaner didnt help..
A black leather folder of mine that i use for work left those marks when ive put it on the seats a while ago. I have the red leather and its in perfect condition other than those marks/lines. THEY DRIVE ME CRAZY. Anything i could use to remove it???

Try the detailing forum, I've heard of others using the magic eraser on leather.
One warning with the magic eraser is that it can remove the shine from worn leather. On very poor condition leather I've diluted citrus cleaner degreaser and used that with some success. But I wouldn't try it on the TT.
I use lexol, which is pretty mild stuff. If you let the leather heat up in the sun or with the heat cranked up all the way it can be easier to clean. I did see detailers paradise (nick, former TT owner) had some leather cleaner that claims to remove dye transfer. I'd be very cautious of any leather cleaner that removes dye transfer, it could also remove the red from your seats. I also have a little dye transfer from a belt on my seat, I live with it. If you try Nick's stuff, please post your results.<ul><li><a href="http://www.detailersparadise.com/View.asp?Id=203312005645332-69151351964">email nick and ask him if this might work</a></li></ul>

It was from a leather folder. Thin and long(pretty darn annoying!). So its like lether on leather..
...ok, well i put bunch of stuff on my seats, mostly papers and such. No kofee, paint or anything stupid, of course. I never alloud people to eat, drink and ESPECIALLY smoke in my car, except me..(jk)
So i cant be 100% sure it was the folder that made them, but im pretty damn sure.
