help! white residue on leather seats...

[JonsMazda]

Just recently came back from Wasaga beach and was stupid enough to drive off shirtless and end up staining the leather seats with sunscreen. Now there is whole patch of white residue on the seats.....tried to wipe it off with leather wipes from Meguairs.....no luck....help?

Thanks!

That topic line is the funniest I have ever seen.

You should PM the guys from eshine and see if they can help.

I don't think water will help either.. I'm pretty sure most sunscreens are water proof so water won't dilute it..

thus, I would go with contacting eShine to see what they can do..

also, that's a pretty funny problem u'r having..

I don't trust the internet, but if you are desperate, I guess you can try this:




How to Remove Suntan Lotion Stains From:
Leather, Suede

Mix a solution of mild soap in lukewarm water. Swish to create a great volume of suds. Apply only the foam with a sponge. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. On leather only, follow with Tannery Vintage Leather Cleaner & Conditioner or Fiebing's Saddle Soap to condition the leather.


I got that off http://home.howstuffworks.com/how-to-remove-suntan-lotion-stains.htm

At the risk of sounding silly, I was going to suggest soap and water, cause isn't that what removes it from our bodies when we rub it on? That or excessive perspiration. But then again leather doesn't equal skin. And you can't just make leather sweat.:whoa

I'm surprised my mind didn't lead me down the path you guys are all taking after reading the word "white residue" until I read your replies.

How can I get sunscreen off a black leather car seat?
Put a few drops of dishwashing liquid on your finger tips and massage onto the spot. Leave the spot for a minute, then wipe off the dishwashing liquid with a damp cloth or pantyhose (pantyhose is best).

[JonsMazda]

lol....u ppl and ur sick minds :loco its really sunscreen lotion!

[JonsMazda]

I bought myself eagle one leather cleaning and condition...got most of the stain out...still can see some white tho.

[theurgy]

1:8 mix of Zero/Woolite Fabric wash and bottled water. Add to a spray bottle for a great interior detailer.
Give it a shot to clean the stain ... then use your conditioner after it's gone.

Thanks! :)
