Default Leather seat cleaner

Does anyone have any recommendations for cleaning blue jeans stains off their leather seats? Does Lexus make any recommended cleaner?

Thanks!

RichardNJ, do a search over on the Automotive Care & Detailing forum. I've seen that topic mentioned and it might of some help.

Lexol has been around for years..
The jean dye and other easy stain issues is why I try to only buy black or dark color leather interior.

Lexus has its own brand leather cleaner sold at dealerships. It is the best so far from other commercial brands that I have used.

Try very carefully Westleys whitewall tire cleaner. Removed blue jean dye from our '99 Town Car white interior without damaging the leather. But try maybe on a q-tip first.

"autopia.com" came up as a dental supply outfit.

That is why i'm trying to find a leather stain and UV protectant after cleaning and conditionning my leather seats, can't find one. It steams me out when i have a stain after a good cleaning.

Autopia is a great site, both for the interior and exterior. Many of the posters there do detailing for a living.

I know its old school but it worked great. I used saddle soap on my wife's light colored Infiniti leather. It left the the leather clean and soft. I did go back over the leather with Connolly Hide conditioner after cleaning. Looked great.
