How can I get this stain out?

[RFA2010]

I had a travel bag in my car and one of my hair products exploded from the pressure. I didnt realize it until a few days later and by the time I wiped it up this stain set in. The product wasnt the consistency of water. It was a silicone based product. I havent tried to rub it out with anything b/c I didnt want to make it worse. Does anyone have any reccomendations? Thanks!

Can you list exactly what the product was? I'd probably look into the Leather Masters line...maybe the dye transfer remover but it would be best to know exactly what it came from first

Not sure if Judy B still reads this forum but I will send her a message and see if she'll respond.

I just remembered it was actually facial cleanser. Cetaphil to be exact. I believe this is the ingredient list of what spilled:
Water, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Acrylates/Steareth-20 Methacrylate Copolymer, Glycerin, PEG-200 Hydrogenated Glyceryl Palmate, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Butylene Glycol, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Phenoxyethanol, Masking Fragrance, Panthenol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Disodium EDTA, Methylparaben.

I forgot to mention the most important part... The liquid was clear so Im not sure what the build up of blue is on the edges. Someone told me this is the dye of the leather that collected and set. So If I do get the dye removal kit do I just use it on the darker areas? Thanks!

It could be the liquid caused the dye in the bag to bleed onto the leather...Judy is aware of the thread now so she should chime in.

Hi
It looks as though the stain us caused by the dye from the bag rather than the product itself. The best way to tackle this is to first try a Jean and Dye Transfer Remover Kit - this contains a 2 part process which is safe to use and will not damage the finish. These are the first two steps that we always try on any dye transfer problem.
Step 1 is a foam cleaner that can be given dwell time so will gently lift any dye without any aggressive agitation etc.
Step 2 is a specifically formulated Alcohol based cleaner.
If this does not work it means that the dye has been very aggressive and has travelled too far into the finish on the leather to be removed without also damaging the finish.
The next stage would be to use solvents so the area would then need to be recoloured and refinished also.
Hope this helps
