Upset about stains on my c63 seat...
Thanks to my wife's brand new black dress, my front passenger seat in Sahara Beige now has blackish dye marks all over.... I tried different methods to remove the dye from the leather (rubbing alcohol, water, tides, soap, Meguairs leather cleaner, magic eraser), but none of that stuff worked... Btw, don't use rubbing alcohol, as it took out the dye along with the leather coating..... argh!
I also took it back to the dealership (Mercedes Markham) and they used some strong alcohol based solution, but they only managed to make the dye stains slightly faded....
Do you guys have any other suggestions, short of re-dyeing the leather? This is bugging the heck outta me!

For legal reasons I can't provide much detail but Leatherique can get blood, bowel contents and bile off the Sahara Beige leather. Fortunately it also denatures DNA but I'm getting off on a tangent here.

Killing your wife would be a good start. After that try looking into other products. Make sure you use them lightly before you go nuts so you dont do more damage.
Try Magic Eraser. That thing works wonders...

Wife opposed to the white leather in the first place, so now she is giving me that 'told you so' look.... grrrr...
I will give the leatherique product a try and let everyone know how it goes. I already tried magic eraser, and it made things worse.... (i.e. a line turned into a blotch).

While awkward at first my wife has gotten used to the hazmat suit with independent air supply that she is required to wear in my car.

my wife wild, but she loves every minute of it.
The fault is the dress, not the car. Who is the vendor of the dress?
