Hello everyone,

I have a lovely Tan leather comfort interior in my touring, only problem being; I wear a black leather belt with my suit and the colour has transferred onto the seats.

Autoglym cleaner, conditioner etc has not touched it and as its been stained darker, I do not think that a leather dye kit would work as they do not lighten leather...

how can i restore the natural tan colour where it is stained gray/black?

Cheers. Rot

You can dye a black interior tan no probs. Maybe try a specialist who might have better ideas about how to do it..

Try Gliptone leather cleaner, if that doesn't work you can always speak to Gliptone about getting a batch of leather dye mixed to match your interior.
