Default Yellowing on gray leather seats?

Detailing the car this weekend, I noticed a yellow sheen around my rear seats. (Absolutely NO smoking anywhere NEAR my car, before you ask, lol!)

Wondering if its a reaction with a cleaning agent, or if anyone else has had a similiar experience? Suggestions to remove?

Cheers, --H

Here is the answer, very simple and I guarantee your leather will look like brand new again.

Thanks.

Thing is my rear seats DO look brand new! But they have suddenly got this slight yellow sheen to them in certain light . I'm wondering if its the upholstery cleaner and if it can be removed. Don't want to dye if can be avoided...

Try a little bit of leather cleaner:

Lexol:

Or (I prefer) Weiman:

Also try magic eraser. Worked like a champ on my gray seats

And it is cheap.

Be careful with Magic Eraser. It's actually a very light duty sanding block. My wife used it on our wood kitchen table when the kids got stubborn (washable) markers and paint on it a few (too many) times without my knowledge. Suffice it to say, the top no longer "shines" the way it used to.
