How to Remove Wool Dye Stain from leather seats of my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee?

[Roger Koh]

I have dye stain damage on the leather seats of my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It picked up a dye stain from a cheap wool coat (made in china wouldn't you know).

I hear you have products that can remove all or most of this dye. I would like to hear from you.

Here are the digital pictures of the stain on the seats of our new jeep. Let me know how we can maximize the chance of a successful removal.

Main Product:
The product that will remove the wool blue dye stains is the Prep-7.7.

The Leather-Safe system:
The sticky residue will be thereafter removed by Cleaner-3.8 follows with Rinse-3.0; (optional leather rejuvenating with Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0) thereafter protect with Leather Scent-B. And the products are found in the kit as shown.

The Technique:
The dye stains as shown from pictures besides the horizontal level; it is also found in vertical areas. To help control the downward flow of the Prep-7.7 during dwell time; it is recommended that a food cling wrapper is place to hold it in place.
Thus it is done in this sequence of process: Apply the Prep-7.7 sufficiently using the foam brush; and place the cling wrapper over it to dwell for an hour or so. Thereafter remove the cling wrapper and extract suspended dye stains with the washable rag towel. Reapply again to dwell penetrated stains if necessary for the next few hours or overnight and repeat extraction. The sticky residue is thereafter removed with Cleaner-3.8 with light agitation with the horsehair brush and extract until the towel shows clean; thereafter spray with Rinse-3.0 and extract until towel shows clean without suds.

General Cleaning:
You may at this stage like to give a general cleaning with Cleaner-3.8 > Rinse-3.0.

Leather Rejuvenation:
However on these perforated panels it is recommended that it is thereafter Hydrator-3.3 follows with Fatliquor-5.0 to maintain the suppleness of these panels when dry (since evaporation and absorption of fatliquor is through these perforated holes).

Leather Non-stick, rub-resistant protection:
Apply Leather Scent-B and spread it with the rag towel; this too is recommended to be done on a regular basis to give the leather surface a smooth buttery-feel protection. If you unforgetfully wear this same wool coat; you would find less evident of the blue dye transfer; if so, it would be so much easier and faster to remove it.

Take some pictures of the cling wrapping to see if you have done it properly (to remove all bubbles use a plastic bottle to roll over a paper onto the cling wrapper).

Thanks for the confident in this kit!
