Help - waterproof sun cream on leather seats!!

[Nick981]

My wife has managed to make great big milky white smears of waterproof sunscreen on the leather seats and door panels of my 5 month old 981BS!!

Apart from filing for divorce, can anyone give me some practical advice on what to do? Is there anything that I can get that can remove these marks, do I need to get the leather pressional cleaned/dyed - or am I stuck with these marks for good?

Thanks! I haven't tried anything yet as still away on holiday with the car. I'm worried about driving the sun cream deeper into the leather, but will try Mcguires when I get home next week. It certainly hasn't come off wiping it with a dry cloth. Does anyone know if Porsche treat the leather with anything to protect it? As this was a waterproof lotion that you remove from your body just using soap and water, might this work or would it just make it worse and damage the leather?

Definitely sun cream - too much of the bloody stuff to be what you're suggesting!

OK - held my breath and took the plunge with a wet cloth and a bar of Dove soap - and it seems to have worked!
Thanks for all the suggestions. Seats look fine again, marriage saved, and holiday still being enjoyed.
Wife looks a bit odd sitting there swathed from head to toe in bath towels though....
