DETAILERS NEEDED- Seat Repair - '12 Lexus GS350 Seats
3 Attachment(s)
Backstory:
My mom is an absolute slob. Our family has a 2012 GS350 with Tan/Peanut Butter interior. Within two weeks and under 100mi of ownership she spilled a spray bottle of Armor All Leather Cleaner on the seat and must have 'forgot'. Anyway, the seat stained and she is looking to get it fixed. What are the options- 1. Clean/Steam the leather to lift any of the stain 2. Replace the leather bottom seat cover? Attachment 158571 Attachment 158572 Attachment 158573 Any help is appreciated! |
Honestly, if you really care about he appearance of the car since it is brand spanking new I would replace the seat bottom rather than try to get that stain out. That's what I'd do.

How in the world did leather cleaner, Armor All, even, cause that blue/purple stain? Still wet and transfer from jeans?
I'm inclined to suggest that maybe using the monster that bit you to re-wet and try to see how much will lift back out, but a replacement seat might be the quickest, if not cheapest way to go. Although, if your mom tends to actually use her car and not obsess about it like some of us do, just cleaning it up the best you can and leaving it in place might be the thing to do for now. If she's like my mom, this is the first of many, "How the HELL did you do that?" stains you're going to see. |

Leather Master Leather Dye Transfer Cleaner - colour transfer, sometimes called crocking. Crocking is where the dye will abrade the top coat layer of the leather. Dye transfer is a specialized cleaner and stain remover designed to eliminate colour and dye transfers on light types A (Aniline) and P (Protected) leathers and fabrics. For blue jeans transfer, newspaper print, fresh ballpoint ink, paint, shoe polish, and permanent marker.
Typically, a dye or colour transfer penetrates through the surface of the finished leather rather than remaining on top of the finish due to the acid and / or solvents contained. For this reason, it is important to follow the product instructions and allow enough time for the product to penetrate the surface and thoroughly clean and eliminate the colour transfer. “Proper Finished Leather Cleaning and Care” - http://www.autopia.org/forum/guide-d...ning-care.html |
No need to replace. That can definitely be lifted with powerful leather cleaner.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I am headed to pick up some leather cleaner!
