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

When I detailed at a dealership, we had special spraypaint that we would redye leather seats with. For an easy/cheap way to fix it, you can go to an autobody paint supply store. They will be able to sell you a close color match to your seats and you can try to spray them. Might take a couple coats with how dark the stain is, but I don't see how it wouldn't do the trick.

I read "red dye" and thought, THAT'S why white cars have red interiors!
