My GFs black belt has apparently been slowly rubbing off on the gray leather seats in my Accord. Any idea what i can use to get this out?
I tried rubbing really hard with leather cleaner, but it almost looks as if it's already dyed the leather across the lower part of the back rest.
Is it safe to use alcohol based cleaners, anyone have any ideas?
I'm jumping for joy now the leather in the X is black. But i would really like to get this stain out of the seat of my honda for re-sale value purposes. |

You have to be careful with strong cleaners because the really strong ones (which it sounds like you need) can alter the appearance of your leather.
I'd give Leather Master "Strong Cleaner" a shot. It should be safe if you follow the directions.

Check out this thread.
If I were you I'd try to PM cvyluv. He seems to work wonders with leather. |

| I would use some denatured alcohol, you can pick it up at virtually any hardware store for about 10 bucks. Use it very sparingly, by pouring a small amount on a rag and lightly wiping over the damaged area. Most times the damage that you are talking about can not be removed because the leather itself has been "dyed" and needs to be recolored. My shop would charge about 35.00 for this type of repair and if the denatured alcohol doesn't remove the stain at least the seat will be prepped and ready for the guy doing the repair!! :D :D |
