cleaning car seats.

ok so i hope the picture will help make sense of this, there seems to be a much lighter of color on my seats were were so disgusting in front i had to use VIM bathroom cleaner to clean them. They turned out a darker color of tan with the blotchy white. I used regular leather cleaner on my back seats which were not that bad, it got them nice and clean with a brush but, they are the light creamy color, looking behind the back flip down armrest there is what looks to be the original color so is it possible the VIM bathroom cleaner took it down to the original color and these seats were painted or dyed?

The edge center of the seat is the original color i was talking about that i cleaned with a harsher cleaner, the tan shade is also the same as found in untouched leather parts such as behind the back armrest or in the seams, and the rest is a white residue/lighter color, looks like paint or dye or something, doesnt really match the rest of the car. Can i fix the seats with leather dye?

Yes you can fix the color by color refinishing.

The leather has to be properly “wet prep”; with all foreign residues to be rinse off and a “dry prep” with fine sandpaper.

An adhesion coat is first applied to ensure that the finish would not peel.

For refinishing a micro-pigment would produce a better feel with a matching micro-pigment topcoat.

And a non-stick, rub-resistant protection is recommended to reduce the wear of the finish.

Tools required for color application is a compressor with airbrush.
