Hey guys so I noticed this imprint/stain on my passenger seat after using a cushion pillow for my little dog, does anybody know how to remove this?

I’ve tried alcohol and other wipes it’s also full merino leather.

Never getting silverstone interior again :/

Try using actual leather cleaning products. I have Silverstone and it has been some of the most durable light colored leather in any car I have owned. I don't even get blue jean bleed.

If you do not manage to get it out, I'd go to a reputable local detailer they will be able to sort it out.

I can't tell....do you mean the film over the horizontal section of the seat? It seems the perforated leather has something covering it?

you can slow work leather with some heat (hair dryer). Go slowly and see if it gets it out.

I can't see what you are talking about, but alcohol will dissolve the finish.

Wipe this place with a sponge with warm water so that the skin becomes damp and then dry with a hair dryer. Just be very careful with the hair dryer, the temperature should not be too high.

An interior specialist with a steamer should be able to sort that.
