Stain on leather seats..

So I threw my leather work gloves in the back of my car and they sat there all weekend in the sun.. apparently the stain from my work gloves stained my seats too.. Any ideas on if there's a chance at removing the leather stain? I'm gonna go buy a magic eraser tomorrow and see if that does anything..

Before you try the magic eraser, I recommend a Mother's product called VLR and a cotton cloth. The dye used in the leather on the 8s is easily removed... the magic eraser might cause the problem to get worse. The VLR will remove the color a little, but not noticably. It is pretty good for cleaning leather, though.

My only recommendation here is that no matter what you choose to use.
Try it in an inconspicuous area first.
Such as a little side area of the back seats after pulling the trunk passthrough area down, or even on the back side of the rear seats.
