Touch up paint on leather seat

Don't ask why it happened....

Got touch up paint on rear driver seat.

I got 95% off. How about the rest?

How would you go about removing the remaining?

Fortunately it was a small section though.

Try nail polish remover and a microfiber towel (or a qtip). Lightly dab it and then go over it with an APC. Then use your normal leather protectant. Good luck

Apc?

Rapid Remover

Nail-polish, acetone, or perfumers will work. Anything with alcohol or strong based acetone. Though be careful not to damage the leather.

That's for the back seat driver? Sorry, I couldn't resist

It's ok, I was frantic when I posted this... I tried nail polish. Worked perfectly.

The only problem is, and this isn't a big deal since the door is small, but the area that was affected now is a bit fade. Anyway to restore leather to its original dark black?
