    Default How to remove brown shoe polish liquid stain from 2012 Lexus cream colored leather seat?

    A new can of brown shoe polish apparently got hot in the front seat in the summer sun and some of the liquid was forced out leaving a pink colored stain on the cream or beige colored 2012 Lexus seat. Will Leather Doctor help me remove it and what product do I use if so?

    Thanks

Prior failed attempt with set-in stains may require the help of Bleach-9.9 as booster to the Prep-7.7 to remove the residual stains. Sticky residue is clean with Cleaner-3.8, rinsed with Rinse-3.0 and pH balanced with Acidifier-2.0 when Bleach-9.9 is cooperated. Hydrator-3.3 relaxes stiff leathers prior to fat and oil replenishing. Fatliquor-5.0 rejuvenates the leather structure with softness and suppleness when dry. MicroTop-54M is an option for renewing the topcoat from friction wear. Protector-B+ imparts a non-stick rub-resistant protection with a buttery feel that shield against sticky soiling and reduce friction noises. Note that the mentioned product suffix number denotes its pH value in this holistic leather-safe dye and ink stain removal system.
