I've got this one area on my rear passenger seat, upper right, that looks like it is grey, maybe white in color, about 5 inches tall and 3 inches wide. It almosts looks as if bleach was applied there. I've used these Meguiar wipes to wipe it off several times, and it keeps coming back. Could these meguiar wipes have caused this?

How do I remove this?

No one with dirty shirts has been back there or anything like that. I think probably 2 people have sat back there ever.....

Lexol makes great leather care products. Get some leather cleaner and some conditioner, and give that a try.

I'd agree with stream try lexol cleaner & conditioner, if that dosent work you could try using a citirus based all purpose cleaner. If you have to use the all purpose spray a small amount on a towel & rub it in, rub it evenly and this should work out fine.

When all fails, ask the dealer "What gives" and have warranty cover it...replaced e46 driver seat 2 years ago whe leather wore out funny...too quickly I suppose.
