Sunblock stain on leather

Hopefully the gurus can help me here.
A friend has a sunblock lotion stain on his passenger seat of his Q5. He says he has tried everything, but cant seem to remove the stain.

Any advice please.


Guys do not merge this one with the other thread on Clean car Tech's page. I know this is a different advertiser.

eish guys :roflol::biglol::crazylaugh:

I didnt want to ask the oke how the stains got there. His wife (my wife's cousin) is currently in ICU, so didnt know how he would respond to such a question.


All he explained to me was they were at the beach, applied the sunblock and it "messed" on the seat.

Regarding the leather stain, the UV blockers in the sunscreen are definitely very differcult to remove. And it will not just come out in a single application.
My advice would be to first agitate the afected area with a soft leather brush and mild leather cleaner. This will raise the fibers and remove any sort of excess dirt and oil from the area. It will probably not remove the stain but that is not the aim initially. Thereafter, I would apply a leather conditioner to let it soak into the fiber and penerate the leather. Let this soak for about 2-3 hours.
Thereafter, retreat the area with the leather cleaner, and bear in mind you will need to repeat this step for at least 2-3 times until you see a significant difference.
By soaking up the conditioner, the leather will be a bit softer and in turn, it should release the stain a little easier.

Lastly, once you happy with the outcome, you can reapply the leather conditioner to restore the suppleness to the leather.

Possible leather cleaners and conditioners:

AutoGlym Leather Cleaner

AutoGlym Leather Conditioner

GlossWorx - Leather Cleaner

GlossWorx - Leather Conditioner

Hope he comes right.
