Removing Leather Stains

[nerekov]

Hey Guys,

What's the best way to remove dried water/soap stains from the leather right on top of the drive and front passages doors. Any leather cleaners or techniques you recommend?

Dr Leather in the UK. Excluding the Merino leather option it will be perfect for our leather (Pigment Coated or Semi Aniline Leather).

Not sure if it is in the US though! But in principal, any leather cleaner followed by a leather sealant (critically NOT a conditioner) should provide further ongoing protection.

Most cars excluding very expensive options, such as Merino are semi coated or coated leather and only need cleaning and sealing, keeping the "top coat" (rather like clear) clean, hydrated and sealed (unfortunately jean dye is very very aggressive on coated leather).

I have heard of people using hairspray to remove stains. Never actually tried.

Saddle soap works great, as does Chemical Guys leather cleaner.
