Need Help Cleaning a Seat
I have the light gray leather seats. My driver's seat has become stained blue from my jeans. So far I have tried cleaning ALL of the blue off by using leather cleaners from Maguires, Mothers, and Zymol. None of these will completely clean all the blue off.
Has anyone else had this problem and sucessfully solved it??
Thanks !

Hey Jen, be careful with the Mr. Clean Eraser. I would agree with you the stuff is incredible and would use it on MB Tex, but on leather I would have the seat redyed and then use a cover on the seat.

Look, I just detailed my Land Rover for sale, and the white vinyl eraser without the sand will take it off no problem. You may have to add a little solvent or water or ammoina, but it will be gone in like 4 rubs.
Check out some detailing boards for other ideas, but I would not re-dye without trying to clean it first.

I have the Ash interior as well and I use a product from Griot's Garage (excellent detaling supplies) called "Interior Cleaner" It is simple to use and will remove nearly all dirt and stains, including the blue jean stain, from either the leather or tex surfaces! Great stuff!

On Saturday I tried the "Magic Eraser" with the Zymol leather cleaner. WOW !
The seats are now cleaner than new. Thanks Jen ! I was very cautious doing this but there is no apparent harm or dulling of the leather. After I cleaned the seat, I used the Maguires Leather Conditioner on it. Thanks to all for the replies and the help.
