I have paint on my leather seat. I tried Meguires Leather cleaner, it didnt budge it. What can I use to remove it without staining the seat or harming it?

I should have ordered your car with the color you wanted rather then trying to paint it yourself...

if its latex paint... soap and water

if its a solvent based paint.. try scraping it off with your nail, if your leather was treated at all it should be able to flake off.

Describe the situation a bit more... is it overspray or did you spill an open can of paint on it?

It is Black Rust-o-leum paint, on the Medium parchment leather seat. It got on there from sitting in the seat and had paint on my jeans. I tried scratching it with my nail, it wont come off. Would paint thinner or any other paint remover ruin the leather? I dont think it had a good conditioner on it is probably why it absorbed so tightly.

this is actually in the F250 SD 4x4 truck, not my car!

Thanks!

I would think a solvent like paint thinner might do damage to the leather itself, if you feel brave, try it on an out-of-sight area and see if any damage will happen to the leather.

Otherwise, I am at a loss... maybe looking for the best leather cleaner/conditioner you can find and scrubbing. Eventually it should work loose.
