Tire Marks in Leather Seats

[Edse30]

I need help figuring this out.
One of my clients-a dealer, just bought a super nice Jag XJR. Well someone loaded a set of tires inside it and it left some really bad tread marks on all seats except the driver's.
I looks like they were there for a while cause I can't get them to come off.
I tried APC+ at 5:1 with a stiff nylon brush. Cleaned up everything BUT the tread marks. Also tried some LA's Totally Awesome cleaner and nothing.
Any experience with this? How would you take them out?




Thank you

Two thoughts, 1z deep cleaner, takes jean transfer off, look at leatherique products.

Have you tried steaming it OP?

I would use a tire cleaner. Most leather seats are treated (if you put water on the seat and it beads it's treated) then you won't damage the leather and essentially remove the "rubber dirt" the same way you would from dirty tires.

Steamer and some APC should do the trick.

I know this has come up before, from what I could find, Leather Doctor makes a stain removal kit for this kind of thing, but it's not sold here.

EDIT: ###? Crispy, why are you dragging up a thread from a year and a half ago?

^ yeah it came up in 2013 when this thread was created! haha

i was like damn that first pic seems vaguely familiar and then looked at the post date.

Yeah, well, there's a reason they put tires in those plastic bags when you pick them up from the tire store.

Here I am realizing I am a typical girl... who has never taken new shoes home in a plastic bag for my feet or my car's new shoes ever in my life! Every one knows you wear them home! 😆
And the old tires are the tire store's problem.
I was never even aware that new tires were bagged up by the tire store! Clearly it is something that people learn if they can afford tires before requiring them to immediately use to prevent a blowout just leaving the tire store parking lot. Lol
