I looked at a pre-loved E92 M3 today which is in good order except that the past owner seems to have placed one of the wheels on the back seat, I'm guessing to take it to get the tyre repaired or replaced as I found an empty bottle of tyre goo in the wheel well. I'm sure most normal people would have covered the seat with something first but it seems this was beyond their comprehension. Anyway, this has left a tread mark wherever the edge of the tyre has touched the seat, on both the base and the back. It's not clear if this is from just the dirt and rubber from the tyre or it's side wall dressing that has rubbed off.

The leather is red (I'm in the Middle East, this is considered the reserved option) so it shows up quite badly. An ideas if this sort of mark can be removed? If I had my brain in gear I would have took a photo. Just wondering what the options are for cleaning this sort of surface and if there's a trick way of dealing with these sorts of marks without further damaging the leather?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Sounds like it's not a showstopper.
