Oil Stain Leather

[Jonathan St. Cloud]

I dropped exactly one drop of 1:40 oil and av gas on my beautiful leather headrest. Does anyone know of a leather/oil cleaner that would not make a bigger mess?

I hate it when I do stuff like this, Two weeks ago I dropped a working 'desk occupying' altimeter, it was ugly but worked perfect.
I would check with the luxury automotive detailing market, Surely somebody has stained an expensive car seat. Also, what about a leather preservative treatment, most leather upholstery needs treating to prevent ageing and drying out, a recommended product might blend the oil stain perhaps "mink oil" type stuff.
Best of luck,
Scott

Several years ago I cleaned a larger grease stain on my auto leather using "electronic contact cleaner". It is very volatile and took all the grease without damage. BE SURE TO TRY A SAMPLE SPRAY SOMEWHERE THAT WILL NOT SHOW BEFORE MAKING A POSSIBLE MESS". Follow up with a good conditioner to condition the leather.

Make sure you don't use something with carbon tetrachoride in it. Sold
in the past as a degreaser, but really toxic stuff.
