Leather messed up :(

I was throughly cleaning my interior today and when I got to the driver's side rear seat, I discovered one of those Kleenex handipaks lying on the seat. I lifted it up and was annoyed to find that it was covered in some sort of oil/lotion and even more annoyed to find that it had raised the leather!

Anyways, I wiped off the oil with a paper towel and then applied Meguiar's leather cleaner/conditioner immediately. Then I waited a few minutes and applied it again, letting it sit in for a few minutes and then wiped off again.

The leather is still raised however..

Here is a picture of the leather that got messed up:

Does it feel any different? Maybe you should wait for it to dry out.

Would it dry out considering it was covered by that oily substance? It sounds like there's not much I can do except wait though, considering the lack of response on this thread. Oh well, I'll just get a custom interior in a few years

well I would try a leather cleaner then conditioner. Leatherique does an excellent job. It is difficult to get rid of that problem tho. Try Zaino Z9/Z10 if leatherique is too complicated/expensive for u.

I would get an HD Leather Cleaner and wait for that stuff to dry out.
