Any ideas? some also got on the paint as well any help with ideas on getting that off would help greatly!

Great point Bill, alcohol steals all moisture from leather, so be sure to follow quick with Leather Conditioner!

 

 

Of course it is, I learned it from you :D:D

[BrianT]

Nice save, they look great compared to the first photo!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a little secret I learned back in high school, when we detailed mostly limos.....alcohol and a rag can safely remove lots of crazy things from leather....

 

Too bad we can't sell alcohol....legally!

 

[Adam]

Don't forget to add some Leather conditioner after using alcohol, it can dry it out

Is it ok for him to wait a week for leather conditioner? I am going to see him this Saturday at a GM Performance meet and I'll have my leather conditioner with me.

I would have a melt down if one of my friends did that to my car. I guess that is why I don't let them ride with me very often.

Brandi, have you ever peeled garlic? His leather will be like that, flaking into a zillion pieces by midnight tonight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding! No problem, this time of year, the leather isn't overly challenged. Mid summer is a different story!

When I saw this response, your "just kidding" part was unseen and my heart dropped! HAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Thanks Adam!!!

Nice save Patrick

 

Adam can ask, what was in the limo that you needed rubbing alcohol for? Or do not want to know?

[SubZero]

Adam you scared the crap outta me for a second hahahha!

[Rich]

I'd turn the whole thing into insurance, get it fixed and send your "BUDDY" the bill! What an idiot for even getting into a car like that.

[THE Mook]

Adam's got mad jokes LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I can imagine Brandi bout passed out.

[StormChaser]

For an INSTANT....I was like "awe heck, i'm going to have to drive to MD tonight" hahahahaha

[BlueGenCoupe]

I had a similar problem. Last year when I worked for Polycon (they paint bumpers for camaro's, traverse, equinox, and trans am) for the summer I had some of the paint on the seat. I used their alcohol and rags with a few scrubs it came off

[Doug123]

I bet the leather will drink up some leather conditioner after an alcohol wipe down. Nice save!

Was their alcohol stronger than regular store brand?

[Optical24]

Yeah. I remember buying the alcohol from wal-mart and it did not take the paint out much. Just a little bit. They had another type of alcohol call purge, which if you use it on leather it'll eat through it.

[Guest Gone & Forgotten]

If it's oil based, baby oil works (I paint home for a living) but if it's a xylene based paint, ouch... 'goof off' but that might not be safe on fabric of any type.

 

Magic Eraser's is my next guess.

 

You can carry your headrests into lowes and have them do a color match, mix up a quart and do some 'touch up' painting haha... okay not funny - well... yeah it is.

[Dreamworkz]

Nice save on the leather bud.

 

Adam, you are the man. I'll have to remember this little trick if I run into this while detailing other vehicles.

[StormChaser]

 

Where on your car is this?

[koebot]

Use anything but Ice for the interior. Try a quality leather cleaner with a leather brush. A clay bar and detail spray should be able to help with the paint.

[Chris@Adams]

Spray paint, that might be tough. I would definitely try <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=redheading1 align=middle colSpan=2>Adam's Leather & Interior Cleaner

[BrianT]

You might want to take the seats out of the car because you are going to spend some serious time on these.

[SubZero]

What breaks down spray paint? HAhahah i should try paint thinner lol
