Hello,

Have a set of leather seats that the previous owner decided to store some tires on top of. The seats now have the tire tread marks imprinted in the leather.....

Anyone ever run into this problem before?
Any suggestions on how to Remove these?

May never fully come off. Best bet is just a good leather cleaner from the auto parts store or the grocery store.

Are the marks external from the rubber or impressions of the tread itself?

If it's from the rubber, try using something like googone or WD-40. Then use a leather protectant after cleaning.

If it's impressions from the stretched leather around the tire treads, they might come out with some heat. Try using some leather conditioner and a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the leather then work out the deformed spots.

From the MSDS:

NAME CAS RN %
solvent naphtha petroleum, medium aliphatic 64742-88-7 >60%
petroleum base oil as
paraffinic distillate, heavy, solvent-dewaxed (severe) 64742-65-0. 15-25%
corrosion inhibitor unregulated 1-10%
wetting agent unregulated 1-10%
fragrance unregulated 0-1%
carbon dioxide 124-38-9 2-3%

You can use what you want. But I wouldn't be using this on MY leather!

try going to a few local detail shops, they buy products that are 10 times better that what you get at AZ or napa.
