Getting pants belt marks off of tan leather seats

Richardo · 03-03-2010, 01:05 AM

Sorry if this question has been addressed previously; I'm sure it's a common problem. My driver's side tan leather seat is beginning to get black stains on it from rubbing against my pants belts. Mild leather cleaning solution isn't removing it, but I'm worried about trying anything stronger for fear of damaging the leather. Any ideas? Otherwise the seats are in great condition.

Thanks for your help.

Guess I'll have to hope that suspenders make a fashion comeback

Thanks.

Post back if you find a solution. I have the same problem with my Chestnut seats as well. I've tried quite a few things (Lexol leather cleaner, woolite, soap and water, etc.) without any success either.
