Cleaning ivory coloured leather

Hi guys , I knew this time would come , I have blue jean dye on a a wee bit of a front seat. I've been using the stuff supplied by LR , it seems to clean the seats ok but it's not shifting the dye. According to auto express Dodo Juice's Supernatural Leather Cleaner is the best this year , do you guys know of something better or are auto express right ?
Turtle Wax Leather Cleaner and Conditioner Came in second on the auto express test , it's a fraction of the price of Dodo juice. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

I have always use Gliptone products on leather, if the dye has got into the seat then you need to get it out quickly if not too late already, leather is a skin, its porous and the dye will move further and further into the material the longer it is on.

I use Gliptone Liquid Leather cleaner on my black seats and the cloth is blue after cleaning, obviously denim dye, which its only subjected too at weekends.
There product also contain tannins which give leather that old leather smell you used to get with cars, modern leathers don't seem to have this.

Meguiers Aloe Leather cleaner was rated very well on the last time it was asked on RRSport

I use Razeglaze leather cleaner and balm

You might want to treat the leather once clean, i believe Gtechniq do a leather protector Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I've got the Gtechniq leather guard but haven't applied it yet. Every couple of days I go over the seats with meguires leather wipes. It just keeps on top dirt and grime. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Autoglym Leather Cleaner, followed by a coat of Leather Balm if you have Windsor leather - no point if you don't, as its designed to keep the leather supple and soft. Foraging near Gaydon....

United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Fuji White

Had the same problem on my Jag which had beige vented leather seats - Gliptones is the stuff for me - use their cleaner and then finisher brings it up like new and restores that great "new leather" smell too. No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

Resurrecting an old thread. What I’m finding odd lately is that old denim that I’ve washed a dozen times is marking my seat. I think maybe when LR dye the leather and seal it with a clear coat that the sealer on my seat has started to wear away? Has anyone else noticed anything similar with older denim?

section 2.


How to Remove Denim Stains from Leather Seats
Take a warm damp cloth to gently remove any dust and surface stains from the seat. Do not rub the leather surface - the rubbing motion can actually make the stain harder to remove
Apply leather cleaner to a clean cloth
Start to wipe the stain away in circular motions until the stain is completely gone
Wipe the surface clean with a new cloth dampened with water
Cover the cleaned surface with leather protectant
Reapply the leather protectant every two months to prevent future stains and to ensure that the car seats remain clean and protected

I had this problem on the drivers seat on my XKR. No amount of cleaning with premium products helped. The stain reduced but was always there.
In the end I was forced to remove the seat and completely repaint the leather using Furniture Clinic products. Derek Hill

Appreciate all the advice on cleaning them, I’m aware of cleaning process and it’s cleaned up fine. It just that my leather seat base seems to be absorbing the denim dye lately. Confused MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
