 leather seat issue



I used a cheap leather cleaner on my seats (I know I know hold the flames)

I used a leather cleaner on my seats (only one seat) and well it stained the seat. I put it on and you can see a line where it was on the seat. I cannot stand it, I tried to use another leather cleaner and it didnt do anything.

So on the seat, the leather looks almost different as you can see a line where the the cleaner was on and the other side where it wasnt on

please help me

take this is a professional? other product?

DJ,

Did you use Lexol (orange bottle) or something else.

How long has it been since it was applied. The cleaner may require time to "dry out" of the leather, then it might disappear.

Lexol cleaner is glycerin based and tends to soak in and actually condition the leather while it cleans away any stains.

My initial thought would be to use water on a microfibr towel and try to wipe away the cleaner and wash the leather with just tap water.

It was a while ago (days, weeks etc)

it was a cream based

ugh. I will try Lexol (orange bottle then go from there)

Why not just apply the stuff that stained everywhere, so that the seats will be uniform?

Try "Saddle Soap", should clear up your problem. You could also go to WWW.autopia.org its a detailing site for any answers to your questions you have in the future. Good luck
cheers
