How to Remove Paint from Leather Seats?
2 Answers
Paint on leather seats can be gently wiped off with gasoline, as gasoline and paint undergo a corresponding chemical reaction, causing the paint to dissolve. After using gasoline to wipe off the paint, you can then gently scrub the area with soap a second time, which will make the leather seats cleaner after removing the paint. In addition to using gasoline, you can also first lightly scrape the affected area with a tool, which helps loosen the paint on the surface of the leather.
I've encountered this issue before when a drop of construction paint splashed onto my car's leather seats, and I was really panicked at the time. I thought about trying some household items, so I applied a bit of olive oil or essential balm to a small corner first, gently rubbing in circles. After the paint softened, I used a soft cloth dipped in warm water to clean it off. Remember to be gentle and avoid scrubbing hard to prevent leather damage or discoloration. After cleaning, apply some leather conditioner to restore shine and softness. Later, I heard gasoline could also work, but it's too harsh and should be used cautiously, preferably only for stubborn stains. When parking, try to avoid construction sites and cover the seats with old cloth to prevent accidents, saving time and effort on cleanup later.
