Jean Dye Transfer on 2014 Jeep Seats

Could someone tell me which products to get in order to clean blue jean dye from my seats? I've read about some products on other posts, but I want to make sure I get everything I need on my first purchase.

Thank you.

The first try is using Prep-7.7 using a ‘reverse transfer’ technique with Towel-T5. Once the stain is suspended it will be absorbed by the more absorbent towel and peel off clean. The sticky residue is removed with Clean-3.8 and pH balanced and rinse with Rinse-3.0.

To ensure you get everything on your first purchase, I will recommend that have this Kit-Ap7.di from this link:

I used the test paper and Prep-7.7 on the darkest part of the stain. After nearly 48 hours, the dye seemed to start loosening. However, it also appears that the leather is peeling away. I can't tell if the dye is being pulled out, if the stained layers of the leather are coming off, or both. Does this look normal? Even though the stain is lightening, I'm scared to address any other areas so far.

>>> Does this look normal?

Any high friction or rub areas may have existing coating wear or weakening that becomes exaggerated is a common issue. Even without removing the unwanted stains, it will sooner or later wear through to the leather crust. Option is to have it matched color touch-up or refinished thereafter.

Removing on healthier areas should not have any of this finishes damages issues, as ‘mechanical’ force is only limit to soft horsehair Brush-1 agitation.

I understand that sooner or later, the leather will eventually erode down, but I would rather not make that sooner with the use of the Prep-7.7. Does that look like what happened -- this particular area wasn't healthy enough to handle the product? I don't want to make a problem even worse by trying to fix it.

I would think so, you may want to have a better resolution to confirm, normally the leather crust would have a darker shade.
