    there are dye on leather seat from jean...

    my client's light grey leather seat was dyed by his regular jean in blue. and many people tried to take care of it but failed, I also failed with regular leather cleaner.

    Do you guys think the Leather Master ink remover can remove it? or the Leatherique rejuxxxx oil can get the job done?

    Any input is greatly appreciated.

    I've had great luck using Meguiars leather cleaner or APC @ 10:1 using a horse hair interior brush. I followed that up with the appropriate leather conditioner. Be sure to test on a small area first.

    What type of leather is it and what vehicle?

    I've used OPC 4:1 on jean stains and a brush on an Avalon leather seat. Like paint, just work your way up from 10:1. I would stop at 3:1 though. Test an area first. Good Luck.

    If you have a steam cleaner that works even better IMO.

    I would order the leather masters ink remover. Rejuvenator oil is great but not on ink in my experience.

    Once ink or dye as been allowed to set no amount of APC will remove it. Steam might help, but it will also lightly damage the top coating of the leather.

    I know Dave Fermani used Leatherdoctor's products with great sucess so I would look into that also. Roger Koh of LeatherDoctor is an expert in that area so I would give him an email if I were you.

    It's cheap and you can get it anywhere. Turtle Wax Interior Cleaner. Used it many times on my wife's leather seats due to the exact same thing. Works really good.
