Default Leather seat question

I have a lower passsenger seat in gray leather (Camaro 1999) that has been damaged. Some chocolate milk was spilled on the seat and a newspaper stuck to the leather.

Could I soften the stuck newspaper with a leather cleaner and use a heat gun or hair dryer to remove the "stuck" newspaper from the leather? What softener product would you suggest?

Are there any other ideas?

If this does not work, are there new replacement leather bottoms that can be purchased? If I took this to an appolsteror, would they make a new leather piece that matches the facorty seats?

I'm not finding much for new replacement leather seat covers that would match the factory design on the Internet.

You should be able to get it off. I would try a leather cleaner and let it sit on it. If that doesnt work use a diluted APC, I know a lot of detailers on autogeek use those to clean seats anyways.

OK, thanks. Would Saddle Soap meet the APC definition?

How about Lexal, bees wax winterizer, clear shoe polish?
