From this test we can see some solid crumbling which is more associate with semi-aniline or micro-pigmented than aniline.
The reference for this leather finish type is to use the Pigmented: Semi-Aniline (P.m) as the Leather Problem Solving Guide.

Under the Stain Type: Penetrated Oil, Grease & Sweat we can see the steps as:
1 – Degreaser-2.2
2 – Acidifier-2.0 or Rinse-3.0
These 1 and 2 combination steps are for the degreasing system refers as phase 1.
The *3 and *4 steps are optional depending on the absorbency of the leather, more so on the finishes damages than the other areas.
*3 – Hydrator-3.3
*4 – Fatliquor-5.0
This combination system is to rejuvenate the leather for softness and prevents stiffness that leads to cracks.
The refinishing system comprises of *5, *6, *7 & *8.
*5 – Stripper-2.3 is for removing the surrounding non-contaminated damages finishes so that the entire panel looks even in appearance.
*6 – Adhesor-73 is for sealing and adhesion promotion prior to *7.
*7 – Micro-54 and Thickener-48 is the custom color that is used for refinishing the color.
*8 – MicroTop-54 that comes in 3 lusters level to match.
Non-stick, Rub-resistant Protection for the finishes is
*9 – Protector-B+ (leather scented or B scentless).
When the white leather spew do reoccur, solving the problem according to the guide is under – Leather Fatty Spew that simple require d’Spew-4.8 in one step follows with Protector-B+ or B.
The approach to this situation is to do a practice refinishing using the above steps *7 & *8 to see if the test finishes removal can be restore back close to the original finishes. Note that the need to do a refinishing on the actual stain area will still depends on the degreasing outcome. Doing the practice coloring will avoid any last moment panic.
Color selection closest could be from the Reds, Maroon with black as shading – see color range available from http://www.leatherdoctor.com/servlet/the-Pigment-%E2%80%93-Micro-dsh-54/Categories or a sample send to

Leather Doctor Kit Sa7.cl – Semi-Aniline Leather Color Refinishing Kit
Leather Doctor® Kit Sa7.cl, micro-pigmented leather color refinishing kit is design for a holistic restoration approach to not only the finishes but also rejuvenating the leather for suppleness. Most of these repairs may range from missing finishes to abrading damages into the leather structure. Some expose areas may be contaminated with foreign soiling that includes conditioners, protectors, body oil, grease and sweat or alkaline overexposure from cleaners. A comprehensive repair for a long-term lasting solution will require a holistic approach to deal with both the exposed structure and surface finishes. The practical and functional softness and strength of the leather depends on the health of the structure with average thickness between 0.9 to 1.2mm from stiffness and cracking. The aesthetic aspect of the leather finishes averages 0.02mm (or 20 micron) in thickness for practical compressing and flexing from cracking. A leather-safe restoration system begins by stripping with Stripper-2.3 and rinsing with Rinse-3.0. Degreasing with Degreaser-2.2 follows with Acidifier-2.0. The suffix numbers of these four products denotes it pH value for recharging the protein fiber ionic positive besides the act of decontamination. The leather integrity is revitalizes once the ionic attraction between the positive protein fiber and its negative leather constituents like the tanning agent and fatliquor (fat, oil and water) is initiated. Leather rejuvenating system for softness and strength is accomplishes with Hydrator-3.3 follows with Fatliquor-5.0. Surface uneven absorption is seals with Adhesor-73 to reduce the need for color over-coating thus increase its flexibility and stretchability from premature cracking. Protector-B+ imparts a non-stick rub-resistant surface with a buttery feel, reduces noises that translate into less friction wear. As the leather surface is well lubricated it reduces compression when comes to heavy body contact thus reduces compressed creases and wrinkles.
