    Paint On Seats....HELP!!!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I've been painting houses for work and when I arrived home this evening I lifted up my lunch bag to reveal a 3" spot of white acrylic water-based exterior house paint right in the middle of my black leather passenger seat.

    Jesus I'm really worried about this, is there any way to successfully remove the paint stain without damaging my leather??? Someone please help!

    Will Lexol even take it out? It never appeared to be that strong.

    I know if Lexol doesn't work, a lot of guys swear by Leather Master, so may wanna try that.

    He needs to get something on there ASAP. Will it be strong enough? Maybe, if he gets it soon enough. Doing that is better then doing nothing and waiting for LM to ship.

    No need to panic. Lexol is a mild soap and will not help. You need a petroleum based product. Try a product like Goo Gone or try olive oil... yes, it can work in some cases.

    The leather is clear coated so there is no harm to the leather. Hope this helps.
