Hi,

The wife has left a deodorant stick type thing on the seat in the blazing heat, the contents of which duly melted and has stained the seat.
The kicker is, this isn’t our car, it’s the dealerships courtesy car as ours has been with them for about 10 weeks waiting for a new generator after a breakdown.
It’s a Qashqai, so I assume it’s pleather rather than real leather?

I’ve tried rubbing with Isopropanol which hid it temporarily but it becomes visible again after a short while.

Would anyone have any tips or products to try to remove the stain?

If you rub it with a microfibre cloth with its tip soaked in IPA, does anything transfer onto the cloth? Same with a water-soaked cloth?

(Assume IPA means isopropanol?)

I don’t recall seeing any transfer when I gave it a once over yesterday, though I wasn’t specifically looking for it.

Will try again later.

The deodorant stuff is white as you’d expect, could be a case of just putting some more elbow grease into it.

For what it’s worth the ingredients in the deodorant are:
Tapioca Starch, Baking Soda (not in the sensitive range), Sunflower Seed Wax, Cocoa Seed Butter, Tocopherol Acetate, Capric Glycerides, Coconut Oil, Stearyl Alcohol, Triethyl Citrate, Sunflower Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Magnesium Hydroxide, Zinc Ricinoleate, Rice Starch (only in the sensitive range), plus fragrance.
