Must have brushed against the wall I'd just painted using primer (white) and then sat in my Subaru. How do I get this off without ruining the Leather (black) ?

Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks


Phil.

If it's water based, it'll come off easily enough with warm water and a bit of a light rub.
As above, contact Judy at LTT, and see about getting some of their Cleaner, and Protector, and count yourself lucky it wasn't gloss paint!

Thanks for that. The primer is not water based so it's just as bad as gloss! Read on a few web pages about gently scrubbing with some olive oil (the stain that is) anyone tried this?

Cheers again for the info.

Phil.

Worst case scenario is to have the area cleaned and repainted. Most car leather is a painted finish with a surface protector. You may be able to remove the paint with white spirit without damaging the colour, but if it is affected, a good SMART repairer can recolour and reseal the area for a small fee - usually around £45.
