    Looks like some discoloration similar to when you leave a sweating cold drink on a wood/plastic surface I would clean the area with warm water, and cleaner(steam works too) then apply a few coats(3 to 4) of leather protection with 10 minute dry time in between each coat, and see how that turn out cause it seems like the protection is missing in that spot too

    Which Meg's wheel cleaner? They all have different active ingredients that will react different with leather/leather topcoat.

    Leather doctor has several kits for dealing with a variety of issues and roger knows his stuff when it comes to leather.

    I would gather up the info about the wheel cleaner constituents and head over to the leather doctor forum for assistance, linking the url would be very against the rules so you'll have to find it yourself.

    Please post back with the solution and results

    It was "Hot Wheels All rim and tire cleaner", in the red bottle. Thanks for the advice, I'll go check in with the Doc.

    Steam the area, them while the seat is still hot apply your cleaner and agitate. After that steam again and pick up lifted debris with a microfibera. As stated above a leather conditioner will help too but only after you have tried cleaning it.
