My wife sat on small piece of cheese on the passenger seat for 1 hour last night, now there is a stain on my beautiful seat from the oils in the cheese. What do I do now??
I don't want to touch it until I hear from the pros!

 

What type of cheese was it? That could be important.

 

Seriously, I used Meguires leather cleaner on our seats when we first acquired the KR (used). It removed several spots and lessened the contrast on one persistant stain. I then used the King Ranch leather treatment, and the seats looked great.

However, you might want to go through some of the previous threads for the results that others have had with different brands of cleaners.

I'd be stabbing in the dark if I made a recomendation on a particular product as I've had no experience in attempting to remove an oily stain from my leather however; I can tell you that a couple of us (dufunnel and myself) have had VERY BAD LUCK with the Lexol CLEANER. Thus, I'd avoid that stuff.

I like the Eagle Ottowa cleaner and I've heard good things about the Meguiars cleaner. Might have to be trial and error.

Best of luck and let us know what you try and your results.

I'm going to try the Meguires.
It was a white, hard cheese from poutine (fries, gravy, cheese for those who don't know - it's a Quebec thing). Very small piece - about half the size of a dime. I'll let you know...

 

Chaos.....You must not use any proprietry product before you have neutralized the stain.

If you use any of the regular products you will seal the stain in rather than get rid of it.

Mix up a small bowl of luke warm soapy water.....but only a very small amount of soap...and saddle soap if you can get it.
The soap MUST be neutral. Carefully wipe the area that has the stain with a cloth dampened in the mixture and let it dry thoroughly.
Only then treat the seat with any product that is marketed as a "hide food".

Good luck., but please realise that leather will attain a patina over the years from use and accidents.
I know it is nice to have the leather looking pristine but there will come a time when although the leather can be kept supple by regular feeding it will have the marks that daily use will provide !
