Angry Dark blue Guess jeans + my TL = war

Guys I need help. My guess jeans dyed my seat blue. I'm using the lethear cleaners from pet boys, but they don't work. Does any one have any sugestions. My next move is going to be warm water and soap, but this might make the leather dry. Please help.
P.S. Guys, don't wear guess jeans while you drive your TLs, especially with light interiors. I just paid the price for it...

you mean don't wear 'Guess' jeans. I wear GAP and Old Navy jeans all the time and the seats look fine. Were the jeans wet? or brand new?

I had had the same problem in my CL w/parchment interior. I had this one pair of really dark blue jeans that started to make the seats turn blue. I used 'Mothers' leather cleaner which seemed to work pretty good. Good luck!

I also had the same problem with my parchment interior. I was wearing brand new black jeans and now my seat is darker than before. I was thinking about buying a seat cover but it might look stupid with just one on. How do you clean it?

Any suggestions..........

Oh yeh that is why I got blk leather. Also another one to look out for with jeans when washing waxing your car the little rivets are great for scratching your paint to. I found out thge hardway with my ES300. I always remove keys, watches and wear safe clothes while washing and waxing to be safe.

If none of the cleaners you can buy over the counter work try to find ChemDry in your yellow pages and get them to clean your leather, they may be listed under carpet cleaners....
I used to work for one of them and the stuff they have is amazing!!! works great on any leather in any condition... will be better than new!!!
But it might cost you $50+ to get your seats cleaned....

Just my 2 cents...

Well...luckily I just got my car and the interior is dark. I'll make sure not to wear cheap jeans. Also the above tip is good, when you wash your car just wear clothes that don't have any buttons on such as short and t-shirt.
