Pigmented -Mono-Tone- Pink dye transfer stains on white leather sofa with headrest finish rubbed off - What is the prognosis for getting a decent outcome?

[Questions!]

It's a little hard to tell from the pictures but it's sort of a light big pink stain.

Plus, areas where it looks like the previous owner try to scrub it off at the head area or backrest I mean

Here are some pictures. Please let me know what you think

Stains removal will bring back to preexisting condition.

Preexisting condition may not be in pristine condition from pictures shown; it has already revealed wear on topcoat and colorcoat that require refinishing thereafter.

Stains removal sequence is by Prep-7.7 to remove majority of stains, Bleach-9.9 is used as booster to remove the remnant few percentage of the traces. The sticky residue is removed by Cleaner-3.8 follows with Rinse-3.0. Further neutralization is soak with Acidifier-2.0

In most of rubbing situation the topcoat may have already wear off – only noticeable from luster level when compared to unused areas.
This rub-off is renewed with matching Topcoat-72 matte/satin/gloss.

The color rubbed off areas besides the backrest, includes the seating sectional seam as well that will require color refinishing using Adhesor-73 as the sealer coat with Micro-Pigment-54 (white, off-white is a mixed of additional 3 – 10% of black and ochre)

In order to refinish the raw leather surface will require a degreasing with Degreaser-2.2 follows with Rinse-3.0.

Leather rejuvenating is recommended to all absorbent surfaces using Hydrator-3.3 follows with Fatliquor-5.0.

The sequence of process entails the following:

Stain Removal
1] Prep-7.7 > Bleach-9.9 > Cleaner-3.8 > Rinse-3.0

Degreasing unknown finish rub-off areas
2] Degreaser-2.2 > Rinse-3.0

Leather Rejuvenating
3] Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0

Refinishing
4] Adhesor-73 > Pigment-54 > Topcoat-72

Rub-resistant Protection
5] Protector-B+
