Blue jean stains on leather

[BadHabit2Break]

I noticed this in my wifes Edge. Seems her dye from her blue jeans is getting on the leather.

I have read that you can use Luxor (?) to clean it up. I went and bought the cleaner and the conditioner. I tried the cleaner with a soft toothbrush and does not look to be working.

Any suggestions would be greatful.

I've had luck with Meguiars Gold class and a stiff scrub brush to get that crap off my parchment interior.

Might not be the best way but it worked for me.

Also don't scrub too hard or the rag will start to look like the parchment color. Found that one out the hard way on wifes car, she's still bitchin about that one. I used maguiars.

Sent from a secure underground Government facility.

Yeah, I didn't want to get to ruff with it.

Luxor says to use a rag and rub it till it foams. Unforunately, there is very little foam when using a rag. Tha is why I used the soft toothbrush and even let it sit for a few minutes.

Maybe I shouldn't have said stiff scrub brush..Something similar to this

I didn't come up with any parchment coloring on my MF. I even got a little ill on the scrubbing trying to get the coloring out of the crevices.

Meg's Gold class that I used.

Could also be the types of jeans you wear....I use Chemical Guys Leather cleaner, sprayed onto a towel to clean it up on a few clients vehicles...

I've used saddle soap before to clean very dirty leather seats. It works really well but most purists will tell you its a bad idea.

Ahh the ol Blue Cow problem.

Our old Passat had very nice tan leather that this happened to.

We used Mr. Clean Magic Erasers (heavy duty) with a little bit of cleaner and water to wet them down.

It work wonders in bringing the leather back to its original color.

Then finish up with a nice conditioner, rub it in by hand so you dont waste as much and you can feel where the leather needs more or less.

The Passat leather is a much higher quality and is all leather, if I remember right only parts of the Mustang seat is real leather. Results might be different on the non leather.
You can see there is a change in pattern from the center to the bolsters.

And as always, try a small hidden spot first before going all out on the front of it.
