    Tire stains on seat

    I put the spare tire on my seat when moving things around and now the sidewall impression remains on the vinyl. I can actually read the logo from the tire on the seat. Oils or something I assume.
    Any suggestions how to get this off would be greatly appreciated!20200817_103509.jpg

    I would use plain ol gas on a microfiber and rub gently. Make sure to go back with the treatment of your choice and a round of leather conditioner to soak in after the gas.

    ***Before guys on here start yelling don’t put gas on your seats...from every high dollar interior we build to the smallest job gets cleaned with gas at some point. You don’t need to do it all the time but occasionally won’t hurt.

    I hope you have better luck than me. I put my rear fishing seat down on top of my winter tires for a while and I could never get the ODYEAR stain off it.

    Couple things to try since you have nothing to lose.

    Magic Eraser
    GooGone or the one used for dried on latex paint. ( Goof Off)
    A tennis ball—- just a plain ole dry tennis ball.
