(EDIT newbie mistake, misnaming the leather color--"you never had your car" says vin diesel.......)

Have yellow stains on pebble gray leather (excuse prior misprint calling it agate gray).

Thought it was from sunscreen, but think it may be a product someone used before me.

Tried corn starch
Tried pristine clean.
Tried leather master stronge cleaer.
Tried leather master degreaser.

Fail.

Anyone think gentle magic eraser would BE safe?

Leather Master Strong Cleaner. I've used it successfully on sunscreen a few times. Best to remove as soon as possible but a week or two shouldn't harm it.

Ahh more products. Thanks

Leather Master™ Leather Degreaser (A-Aniline / Non-Coated) (P-Protected / Coated) an aerosol product for cleaning oily stains; it dissolves and removes oil and grease from finished leather surfaces. This cleaner can be applied for cleaning all types of leather (check for colour fastness) this aerosol product is ideal for cleaning this type of stain as it dissolves the oils and transforms them into a powder that is more absorbent than the leather. This powder is what is wiped off, cleaning and degreasing the leather. Allow the white powder to dry fully. If the powder is drying to a yellow colour, it means that there are still a lot of oils in the leather.

When a grease or oil stain has built up gradually over several years, it cannot be removed in a few minutes; patience is necessary and you may have to use more than one application to complete the job. Using a Medium / hard horse hair brush, or a soft sponge, spray and work the cleaner into a foam, lightly scrub surface and immediately wipe with a terry towel to remove excess moisture, especially around stitching (you may need to repeat this process).

Tried both the degreaser and deep
Clean still no luck.

Wonder if it is not sunscreen and some product the prior owner used.

Can you capture the damage in pictures? If yes please post a few.

updated with pic and edited. (MODS--could you fix my error title)

Anyone have any other suggestions on the pebble gray before i try the abrasive magic eraser?

TOGWT

Perhaps its just me but I cannot make out anything on your photo other than leather grain and stitching

Magic Eraser is an abrasive so it will not only remove the stain but the leather's protective coating as well.

It may be the sunscreen / Fake tan has dyed the leather - if this is the case you'll need to renew the pigmentation of the leather

I would take it to a shop that deals in the restoration and replacement of leather rather than inducing a bunch of different cleaners that may be more harmful to the leather. Just my thought.

Thanks for input.

I have read the other threads on pebble and def don't recommend it as a non -garage queen color. I am neurotic and still futile

Unless you wear a linen suit/onesie everywhere.

Prob needs re dyed

SC Detailer

When you tried these products, did any agitation make it worse?
