Default Stained seats

So I'm at a conference in Cleveland and as the valet pulls up with my R, it's pouring the rain, the valet area is chaos and I really just want to leave. The car is in valet mode so I toss my duffle bag in the passenger seat. The bag was clean or so I thought. Here is the result:




Anyone know of any product to use on this?

Good old fashioned saddle soap if it's surface slime. If the cheap dye from the bag is embedded in the leather, you may need to seek a professional.

I use this gear: https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G185.../dp/B004HCM9HE
When I first got my old XFS just on three years ago the driver's seat was very stained and dirty, with lots of sweat and grime in the grain of the leather and the seams. A bit of scrubbing with this gear and a microfibre cloth and it came up like new.

Use the two stage Leatherique to pull that out. Even having black seats I used it and it would pull blue jean dye out monthly.

You can get it direct or on Amazon, just follow the directions and the stain will be gone.

Here is a tip we have used in the fabric and upholstery industry for decades. Take some masking tape and place it on the stain and rub it into the fabric or leather. Then peel it off. Do this several dozen times or until the stain disappears (which might be after only a few times). The solvent on the sticky side of masking tape is qe strong and will loosen spots and stains in many cases. I have done it hundreds of times on fabrics of all kinds. And if you doubt its strength, try putting a piece of masking tape on a pre-finished wood floor and then peeling it off, there will be no finish on the floor where the tape was. It destroys water based finishes, spots, stains, etc.
