it absorbed my belt dye and cant clean out.

should i get a spray dye professionally done? what do you recommend?

i think it was really accelerated by the seat heaters last winter. the belt was very old and im sure the heat played a part.

really sad how easily it stains. the leather should be sealed or something.

 

Have you tried the "Magic Eraser?" I think it is made by Mr. Clean.
Works well on many surfaces and I use it to get rid of regular dirt off my tan colored leather seats. Use it on a tiny corner of your seat and check it out.

 

have you tried soft scrub (do NOT use the one with bleach) and a soft toothbrush? put on some soft scrub, rub lighting with toothbrush, wipe away. see if that takes away the stain?

 

Where is FL are you located? I work at a dealership and I have guys that can fix that.

 

what kind of belt was it? Blue?

 

Creative Colors International...these guys are good I've seen them fix color transfers (like what you have), tears in the seat leather, and trim pieces.

 

those perforations are a b1tch...good luck with that

 

Just one more reason to have a beautiful black interior LOL

 

Try with vinegar!!!
You can thank me later ;]

 

I've heard it can be re-stained with matching colour for very reasonable price, I was told there's a place locally that can do a good job for something like this ...

 

Looks like it just needs to be cleaned by a professional detailer.

 

I hate to say it, but on my M35 with BLACK interior, the exact same thing happened. I traded that car with the stained seat for my LS. The only thing about black is that it was not as noticable.

 

No real advice on the seat thing but man a love your avitar!

 

^yea who is that in your avatar? Looks like that girl from Day After Tomorrow...

 

Emmy Rossum?
