The belt on my trousers has stained the lower back of my porcelain leather seat. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way of removing this? I've tried with the Starguard leather cleaner and it has no effect, I guess because the dye from the belt has effectively dyed the seat. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

There was a recent thread on this and the OP tried all suggestions (which did not work) and ended up having it professionally cleaned/repaired/treated.
Not an answer, I'm afraid, but I will watch this thread as I was only looking at Porcelain as an option this morning and the issue of marking by denim etc. was a consideration.
I assumed normal leather cleaners would be sufficient, so await replies with interest. I still like the Porcelain, though.

I have the porcelain leather which had stain guard on it. I have since added my own leather protector monthly after cleaning off the dirt/stain from die etc. My detailer suggested it would be ok if you keep on top of it and don't leave marks for long. I work on a farm and manage to keep it Clean. Take it to a Detailer if you can't get it off youself.
Ok thanks everyone, I'm going to try the Gliptone leather cleaner mentioned in another thread and will let you know the results. It's fairly minor at the moment but I'd like to get on top of it before it gets any worse.
I've now used the Gliptone G14 cleaner. It hasn't totally removed the dye from the belt but it is barely noticeable and you would need to look really closely to see anything. So all in all not a perfect result but not too bad either. Just need to keep an eye on things from now on!
