I sold my s2000 a few months back for a new G35 sedan, but this is the best car care forum i have been on so i thought i'd look for some advice here.


My friend just picked up a used is350 with light gray interior. The rear seat has a blue stain on it. Probably about 6" in diameter. The stain will not come out, we have tried everything. Leather cleaners, nail polish remover (we thought it could have been ink). We still do not know what the stain is from either.

Are there any leather products to like a touch up spray that can be used?


Thanks in advance for the help!

 

let me see if i can track down our leather expert...

sounds like a specialized problem- sounds like ink

 

Thanks for the heads up on this...it does sound like ink or something that likely penetrated the finish and is a permanent stain.

Don't fret, there is a solution...albeit not a do-it-yourself solutions, you need to call a pro, they will strip the area, get rid of the majority of the stain and recolor it to a like-new condition. Being that it is just a small stain the charge shouldn't be huge. Drop me a PM and I will find the name of someone in the area for you. We have an authorized service center in the area that should be able to help.

 

i knew i would find answers here!


Thanks for the help.
