I have a 2023 110S with Acorn leather seats. When I ordered it, I selected the more expensive seats in order to get dark brown leather, but somehow that fell victim to the supply chain issues and it showed up a little cheaper with the light-colored Acorn leather.

And now after driving it for more than a year, it has developed a noticeable blue stain on the left edge of the driver's seat, probably from my exiting the car (when I climb in I am better able to move over and drop into place without sliding).

I don't wear jeans all that often, but it's clearly enough to put a blue stripe on my seat.

Has anyone found something that removes the stain? Is there a special leather cleaning solution that would do the trick?

Thanks for any advice you have.

Mike

 

I had to deal with similar stains on vinyl dental chair upholstery, we tried everything possible but eventually mechanical rubbing of clothing material did the trick and most of staining disappeared within few months (!).
You can try baby wipes though.

 

Swissvax leather cleaner worked spectacularly well on the ivory interior on an Aston Martin I owned

 

There is a leather cleaner from LR. That worked very well on my ivory interior. It came with my RRS.

 

Try Mr.Clean Magic Eraser.

This will clean and then prevent any further dye transfer. I've had excellent success with it

 

Need to be careful with magic erasers - they clean via abrasion so have the potential to damage the surface of the leather. Which is a painted coating on all modern leathers

 

Although this will not clean the leather, it will help protect them from jeans and the like. I use this on my current and past GXs with the light/oyster interior leather seats. The wife’s jeans do not leave their mark like they did on our first GX years ago. I reapply once a year.

I actually switched from acorn to Windsor at the last minute on my build. Hoping the sc will not mess it up. Will find out in April.

That was my first thought to go to. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works wonders on lots of things.

 

Don't use magic erasers until everything else has been tried. They are a chemical infused abrasive and can/will wear off the protective layer on the leather.
If you have some woolite and don't have any leather cleaner, I would mix a batch of woolite, then with a brush whip the mixture until it foams. Take that foam and apply it to the stain.
Let it sit a minute, then use a soft brush and in a circular motion gently scrub the stain. Then use a clean microfiber to wipe away the residue.
Do this a couple times to see how it works. You are trying to pull a dye out of the leather. It's going to be a bit of a challenge.

Just like paint, start with the least abrasive thing that will do the job.
