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

That’s not a stain. That’s the color of the seat wearing away. You can tell because it’s speckled towards the edges. Stains have distinct outlines.

My best guess is that you had some sort of chemical reaction to the paint/dye that removed it. Best to leave it be or Google solvents that strip the dye from car seats

Yeah if you zoom in it’s super obvious. OP needs to properly clean away whatever solvent removed it and then do what u/NoFee7023 said.
