Is my Leather Shot?

So, my friends painted their clothing with water based paint for a concert we went to. I took them home after the show and the next morning I noticed that some of the color had stained the leather lightly. Is the woolite/water mix my best option for cleaning it? Or am I screwed?

water/woolite mix, 6:1, but if it does not get out, try using a dedicated leather cleaner, if that doesn't work, buy the leatherique, I hear excellent results from it, but it is expensive.

A water-based paint will dye leather if left to dry. I would suggest you use a leather cleaner (Leather Masters Strong Cleaner)

Have to agree with csmeance, leatherique is some good stuff.

You mainly should need only the Rejuvenator and the Pristine clean. You can buy directly from there here.http://www.leatherique.com/price_list.htm

They have a package available. You will need about 3oz per seat/area so in the TL, your looking at approximately 16-20 ounces of rejuvenator. So I think the 16oz set should suffice. FYI its $40 for the set of 16oz
