Paint Stain on a Leather Seat!
This isn't actually in my RX-8, it's in my GF's Accord Coupe, but still, does anyone know how to get a paint stain off of leather seats?
Her seats are a dark charcoal color and the puff paint that got on the seat is yellow. (I think she called it puff paint...not really sure about that.) I tried Lexol Leather Cleaner and Meguiars Leather Cleaner/Conditioner and neither of them worked. :( Any other leather cleaners to try or will she have to get it dyed (can they do that to leather?)? Thanks for your help! ~ Matt |
This may seem like a bad idea, but before I traded in my last car, I had little paint flecks on my driver's seat. I wet a paper towel and placed it between the seat and my nail as I gently but firmly scraped it off. I can't really say how safe that is for the leather, but for me anyway, it didn't harm it and got the paint off.
Also, did a quick search for you on Autopia. One person said he safely used Goo-Gone on his leather seats, another person said he used Autoglym's leather products, and yet another person said 3M Adhesive & Wax Remover is the way to go (that product must work miracles--it's been suggested for removing wax from exterior trim as well). I'm sure there are other ideas out there, but I'd give one of those a shot and see what works. |
You could try hairspray - spraying it on and then rubbing off.
The solvents in the hairspray are good at getting things off leather safely - although I haven't tried it on paint. |
Thanks for the tips!
