Angry tire marks on leather

ok here is the situation....i got new tires like 3 weeks ago...it told the guys changing my old tires to put the old tires in my trunk....these a-holes put them in my back seats....the covered them in plastic, but it was a cover up because i have tire staines on my back seats now. The stains are from the tire cleaners ive used in the past couple of months. I tried meguiars but it does not clean it up. I dont want to use anything to abrasive on the leather. Any suggestions?

Wow that really sucks...I would be rip shit.

I'm guessing you have tan leather seats.

Try a diluted mix of isoprpyl(rubbing alchol) and water, with some cotton balls. Try is out on a small hidden area first. If it works try it on the other areas, and keep wiping off excess with a towel.

Also follow up with some leather conditioner.

***once agian try it out on a small area first, you dont want to be just smirring the marks or fading the leather***

try this, get the Mr.Clean Magic Eraser...wet the white sponge, and gently rub the leather, I guarantee you, you will get everything out. I use that magic eraser on everything in the car: plastic, leather...makes everything look like new.

If you haven't gotten it fixed I would go with this option. What sort of dumbasses put used tires in the back seat especially on leather?

I'm really suprised that you had no luck with IPA. Only thing I would suggest is 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover
