Need help cleaning my leather

Hey guys, I bought my car wrecked so it was sitting a pretty long time while I was getting it fixed, and my leather has some "crap" on it....i'm not sure what it is, it's a greenish color almost the color of grass or something, but it appears to be a stain, if you could please let me know what products i can use on it and what appears to get off everything without harming my leather, also if the stain will not come out is a polish a possible fix to cover it up....thanks guys!

A gentle leather cleaner is Woolite (the Original). Dilute it 1:10 with water in a spray bottle, spray it on all of the seat, get a leather brush, let sit, agitate, spending a little more time on the stain. If the stain stilll didn't come out, you could try rubbing alcohol (on a cotton swab) just on the isolated stain (but try the alcohol on an inconspicious area first). When your all done, rinse with water in a spray bottle and wipe with a towel. Condition with a leather conditioner and repeat for all of the seats.

Good Luck

Stains:
If a stain is left for too long it may set and will become a permanent part of your leather. There is nothing you can do to remove the stain, but you can re-dye the leather interior a darker colour. Had the spots been lighter than the original colour, it may only have required cleaning.

If IPA doesn't work you could try 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover
