I had someone pick up some new tires for me in my car. He did not have them bagged and they sat on my white leather seats. There was no stain immediately but over the course of two days stains appeared on the seats - they now show the tire tread pattern and even the name of the tire! I've tried an automotive leather cleaner to no effect. I assume some sort of chemical from the new rubber has reacted with/soaked into the leather? Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can remove the staining? Thanks.
I would try Woolite, mixed 8:1.. unless you have some Leather Mastes Stuff available or leatherique..
Iz einszett 'Plastik-Reiniger' (Detailer's Domain) is an intensive, non-corrosive, non-acidic two-phase deep water-based detergent cleaner for polyurathane covered automotive upholstery.
If this is not removeable with a quality water based foam cleaner (foam because you can give it dwell time) then the area will need to be restored. Do not over scrub and allow the product to do the work.
