Can’t get stain off headrest
Just bought a pre-owned 2014 E63S and I just noticed there’s a stain on the headrest. I don’t know if it’s grease or not but it’s not in the middle of the headrest and there’s also splatter, which is inconsistent with headgrease stains.
Ive tried my regular interior cleaner and rubbing alcohol as well and it won’t do anything - literally won’t even fade. I’ve attached some pictures. Help pls!!!

Yikes, you used rubbing alcohol on leather? Last time I tried that (an older Mercedes) it happily lifted the dye. But I think newer leather comes precoated with a protectant from the factory? Probably should take it to a detailer.

I had a toyota Sienna with light grey leather seats. Even though every time I washed it I used leather cleaner and conditioner, over time, they started to look pretty nasty. One day, while cleaning the windshield with regular old Windex, I thought... "What the hell..." I sprayed windex on the seat and wiped. Holy crap! I couldn't believe the difference; instantly! Now... I really don't know how safe it would be to use a cleaner with Ammonia on leather. After I was done with windex, I wiped with moist cloth, aired out the interior and later applied leather conditioner. YMMV. Proceed at your own risk.

Baller answer right here!
On the subject of cleaning interiors, I just remembered a story from a BMW forum. Long story short, dude cleans leather interior with Mr. Clean Magic Eraser!

Unfortunately the pics have since been taken down. AGAIN! Proceed at your own discretion!
I guess there is always PeterUbers method if all else fails.

It almost looks like ceramic coating spilling or some had the sponge in their hands and didn’t realize they touched the headrest. Not saying it is but if it’s not coming out consider it. If you add an armorol wipe it may hide it from standing out as much
