Default Blue Jean Stain on Leather Seat

Well after taking the afternoon off of work to enjoy driving around a bit, I noticed that my new jeans have left a light blue tint on the driver's seat on the grey parts. I used a damp power towel to verify that it was a cover stain and sure enough, a light blue tint began to appear on the paper towel. Any advice on taking it off? I noticed it while using Armor All Leather Wipes on the seats but that didn't even touch the stain. Needless to say, not pleased at the moment.

Also, don't buy jeans from Kohls!

1st.. do not use armorall on your interior that includes seats and the dash wipes. they tend to dry the materials out!

2nd.. ive used Lexol Leather Cleaner and protector multiple times and it works wonders, the stuff is Ph balenced and for the price you cant go wrong, i use it on occasion like when my gf spilled red slushies from Sonic on the seats.. stuff is goood i use it everytime i detail my interior

3rd... it may sound really harsh but i have used very light steel wool pads in combo with Lexol to get gum off leather seats and no damage afterwards but seats were "gumless"

Fantastic.

I was able to get a decent amount off with just warm water and a wash cloth. I also ordered the Lexol 3-1 Leather spray as well as the Tire Spray and Premium Protectant. $30 from Amazon.

Ohh, be careful! leather gets jacked up quick. start mild and dont be tempted to use anything harsh.

my dad uses barbasol so it's readily handy, let me know if that works, if it does that would be great! i know that i use shaving cream to break in and soften my baseball gloves...
