need some help with leather seats

toner123 · 01-09-2011, 03:27 PM

hey guys I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to get deodorant off the leather seat. I let my buddy watch my car while i was on deployment and he took it to the gym to just keep it running and he left a stick of deodorant on the seat. well when he came back out it melted on to the seat and stained it.

You might try Leatherique Pristine Clean. I can't swear to you that it will clean deodorant out, but I've used it a couple of times including on seats that were about 15 years old. You'd be amazed what kind of crud this stuff takes out.
The Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil also does a real nice job of conditioning of the leather.
Since the deodorant has probably taken a lot of the oil and moisture out of the leather, the Rejuvenator Oil would most likely help the situation. If you use this stuff, you need warm weather. I left mine on the seats for 24 hours+ with plastic over the seats, then came back with the Pristine Clean. The P.C. brings the leather back to the same matte finish as original.

Are we talking the faux suede in your Z? Or actual leather?

Alright sounds like a good idea. Where can I buy it? I was thinking maybe a steamer would work the hot water break it down but was kind of scared

Try the least aggressive method first, namely a damp MF towel. If this fails, Pristine Clean is one of the best leather cleaners out there and it also leaves protection behind. Detailer's Domain is the cheapest I know of before shipping and right now, there aren't too many sales.

I use Adam's leather cleaner-and this is from a former horse competitor who cleaned many saddles and bridles of the finest leather.

Getting the bulk of it off would be the place to start. Using something as simple as some hot water in a spray bottle and a towel would work... or a heat gun/blowdryer.

Once you have most of it off using something like our leather cleaner and a gentle brush will take care of the rest. Follow up with conditioner to protect it and you should be good.

Must be a common problem... a guy on another forum just asked the same question after he left a deodorant bar in his back seat over a sunny weekend.
