Water Stain on Leather

I was cleaning my truck and I noticed I have a water stain on my back seat. It is not visible when it is down but I noticed it because I lifted the rear left seat to vacuum under it. Can anyone assist me on how to get this out? Thanks

Are you absolutely positive that what you are seeing is a water stain?

I would try and apply several applications of leather conditioner to see if you can somehow “fade” the stain back to the original color.

I have had to do this to my armrest on several occasions. I hate it when you open the sunroof with a little bit of water on the truck… and it runs in!

Looks like he had the window cracked and water got in.

I had the same thing happen to me....but it was because my Jack#$$ left the rear window open all night and it rained! My stain was a bit more severe but I took it up to a local detail shop that had worked on King Ranch trucks before and they did a pretty darn good job fading it out for me by using leather cleaner. I can barely notice now. Good luck!

From this point forward, you need to take it to a detail shop in Lagrange! You know how to find me... I mean, the shop.

Have you tried anything on it at this point in time? Leather cleaners? Any thing else?

Don't go bonkers on the experimentation but, I feel like a good conditioning will do a very good job... for this application, I'd likely recommend using the KR Conditioner as it is more of an oily emulsion and can likely help to re-darken the leather a tad.

For what it is worth, I had a similar problem , a friend sat on my seat with wet shorts. I took a damp cloth and scrubbed the seat and let it dry and then went back with the KR conditioner being very liberal and the stain is gone.:
