Stain Removal on Seat - Suggestions Please

[kaptom540]

As you can see there is a black stain on the tan seat from the BWM book. Is there a product that can remove this stain? I used a slightly hard brush with Lexol cleaner but didn't remove it. Any help is appreciated.

Well Lexol is my go-to leather cleaner. If that didn't do it, I'd try a couple more times and use a clean tooth brush. If need be, I'd move up to a general purpose cleaner (like Megs D101 at a 10:1 mixture). I've used this on my tan leather and had good results. You might want to test first in an innocuous spot in case your cleaner is a bit too aggressive.

Lexol is crap.

A leather-safe APC (all purpose cleaner) like Optimum Power Clean works better. You can also try Woolite Laundry Detergent cut 10 parts of water to 1 part woolite, this cleans better than lexol.
If that doesn't work and you don't wanna try the more exotic home remedies, Leather Masters line has a specific ink remover, also has Light and Strong cleaners for leather. I must say once more, lexol is not a good cleaner or conditioner and is nothing like the real stuff: Leather Masters or similar. All this stuff will be mail order.
