Default Rx300 stain on leather wont come off

I have a blue stain on my 2003 lexus RX300 near the front side of the drivers seat right above the power seat controls it is a blue color and it is from blue jeans even though i dont wear any jeans that often. Thats the dealers explanation.

Ive tried the following things

Rubbing achohol
viniger
Mr.clean magic rub duo eraser
Meguires detail wipes
leather cleaner and conditioner

please give me more suggestions

Thanks in advance

I have used a Turtle Wax Leather cleaner and that helped the one time I had this problem. I shouldn't mention this, but my uncle will on some stains use thinner or mineral spirits if the stains are really messed up. I wouldn't recommend that and neither did he.

I spilled Pepto Bismo on my leather and have yet to get it out. Any suggestions there?

If the stain can not be removed, there is the option to have it dyed. Check with the dealer for reccomendations.

You didn't mention which brand of leather cleaner you used. I'd try either Lexol (the cleaner, not the conditioner) or Zaino before doing anything more drastic.
