Hi all wanted to some help please. I put on a seat protector to protect the seats but it seems to have left a mark from
the anti slip bottom. I have tried dodo juice cleaner but it won’t work on it. Can anyone who might have had this issue or anyone who knows what I could try please reply.

Pics attached

If a simple leather cleaner does not remove it, then I think your cover somehow etched itself into the leather.
Friction between the 2 surfaces and the slight movement when you sit in the seat are enough to have created a wear pattern into the surface of the leather.
If so, no amount of cleaning will fix it.

Not much of a handy person myself so no magical idea on a fix, but know there are some very good leather restorers that can be contacted that do some brilliant things fixing old leather seats and make them look new. Saw one old Jag owners old torn discoloured seats come up a treat after having someone visit and do them at his place, didn't take too long either. Maybe try finding some leather auto refurbishment place?

Have a look at the thread from 5th June ‘looking after your pride and joy’ - where the OP had damage to the seats. I also had wear and tear damage and found a great product that repairs the leather seats for about £10 (with plenty left over for future use). You just paint it on and it repairs the leather and blends in well (see pics)
If you cannot clean it off you may want to try the product I recommend in the thread as they are designed for Jaguar leather seats so you should get a good match. If anything it will hide the damage quite well.

Awesome do you have a link to the product and any idea how I can find out the exact colour of my seats ?

Thank you so much

Hi this is the stuff I used on my damaged seat, there is a colour chart on the Web site.Easy to apply, use a sponge then a hair dryer and build up the layers.

Yes that is the stuff above and there is a grey in the colour chart - it may be that light application will make those areas appear cleaner at first but it should blend well

Quiet man - you posted a photo of the back of the bottle of the product you used earlier in the thread.

I want to use exactly the same stuff as you but there are a lot of products on the Furniture Clinic website and but none that look like this.

Maybe they have refreshed their range.

Do you have a picture of the front of the bottle ?

Failing that, a link or just the specific product name for me to search for ?

Cheers
