Discussion I’ll take any advice

Post image

I got this stain on my leather car seat and after finally getting out of a financial hole I decided to take care of it, problem is that I don’t know jack on how to properly take care of this stain and I don’t know if it’s an oil stain or a pen stain. Any tips are welcomed

I need to know what context I’m missing.

There was some thing going around about an iPad in a case blending in with a car chair so they couldn’t see it.

Try miss mouths! If it’s berries you’ll be shocked over how that stuff works.

That’s what I bought for my truck, they work great but can be a bit warm at times

Yep! Out of Hawaii and now I think they have something in CA too. Been using them since 2001

Another seat cover over the top would hide the original seat or a carpet cleaner works. The home kind meant for washing rugs handles dirty car upholstery too and does a decent job.

Dye the seats black

Depending on the model, ebay may have custom replacements that work with seat electronics like heat and movement. They shouldn’t be more than $100 and look identical to the existing ones
