HELP! Suntan Lotion on Black Leather

[barlowc]

HELP! My Nissan has black leather seats. Well, Nissan calls it "Charcoal". Long story short, someone lathered-up in suntan lotion... in the car.

It's all over the passenger-side seat, seatback, center armrest, and door panel. It must be waterproof or something and I can't seem to get it out.

I've tried a clean white towel dampened with warm water, warm water with a little bit of liquid dish soap, and the Armor All leather cleaner/conditioner that I normally use to clean/protect the leather. I spent 45 minutes on it and barely made a difference.

Please, please have some tips or a solution for me.

ohhh you might have to find the brand of lotion and coat the whole seat then wipe it off to even it out!!!

My wife did the same thing on my Roadking. I got it off with Armorall car wash. I had some mixed up washing the bike and just used a well wrung-out rag to scrub it .

I have some Turtle Wax Gold Series Car Wash in the garage. Maybe I'll mix some of that up and give it a try tomorrow evening.

I also found an article while Googling that mentioned something called Xymol that can be purchased at Target.

Which one? The Turtle Wax Gold Series Car Wash or the Xymol?

Woolite & water mixed 6 parts water to 1 part Woolite. Use a terry or microfiber towel dipped in the solution and another to remove it. That's a strong solution, it can be changed up to 10 to 1 for lighter cleaning.

Last summer my wife got suntan lotion and/or sweat stains on my black leather BMW seats. The stains appeared white.

I used Simoniz leather cleaner to get the stains out. I used a couple of applications using lots of the cleaner each time.
