Stain on leather seats.

I have a small stain on the black perforated leather seat covers.

It is from the anti seize paste.

Any thoughts on how to remove?

Thanks in advance,

Gerry

I would clean with either very diluted Simple Green or Griot's Garage Interior cleaner.
Use a soft cloth first go at it, if that doesn't get it try the cleaner on a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
Work slowly and watch the progress.

The seats are pretty durable so room to scrub.

Worst case scenario you can have an interior repair service "surface dye" the spot if it won't come clean.

I am a professional detailer, this is what I would attempt on a client vehicle.

Honda Polish spray takes anti-seize paste right off of leather and vinyl (I know from experience).

You won't be surface dying a thing successfully if it won't come clean.

Do everything you can to get the "alien" out then surface dye, if required. If you don't go as far as lacquer thinner, you can prolly save it without dye.
