Default Getting paint off leather...

There is a little white paint on my driver's side seat. The seats are neutral leather. What can I used to take the paint off without damaging the leather?

That sounds like it's almost impossible to do without damaging the leather, probably won't work but what about using a clay bar on it.

It is very possible guys! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Use Hairspray or Denatured Alcohol, test in a space just to see what it looks like then move on to the entire stain.

Have fun.

GM leather is soaked in a urethane so you chouldnt have too hard a time getting it off. That's why its there, if it was natural leather you'd have a problem.

The two products I have listed are widely used to remove ink but it also works on paint, so I would think your all set. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
