Stained MB Tex seat back
My new brown leather belt has transferred Brown Dye across the back and bolsters of my light tan seat back. I have tried absolutely every chemical I can think of to remove the stain. NOTHING seems to work even a tiny bit. Anybody discover a solution?

Okay, try Hide Stick.
You won't get it out on the first try, but rather 10 or more tries.
Rub Hide Stick over the stained area (Hide Stick is a waxy solid thing like Chap Stick). Let sit for12 hours. Rub off with isopropyl alcohol on a paper towel. Rub one way only, not back and forth. Rub Hide Stick on again. Let sit for 12 hours. Repeat for 6-7 days. Most, if not all, of the stain should be gone.
Finally, at the end of the 6-7 days, to get rid of whatever remains, you can take a dab of butter and rub it over the stain. Park the car where the sun will hit the area in question. Keep checking every 5 minutes. When it looks better, wipe off with isopropyl alcohol again.
I had a blue ink stain on the side of my ivory-colored vinyl console of my Jaguar, and using the above methods, I was able to completely get rid of it in 7 days.
Good luck.
