Since Aug 6th I've been really really careful not to wear jeans or dark coloured trousers that might leave colour on the Ivory seats - imagine my horror to find dark brown dye (I have no dark brown trousers!) about 4-5" up on the seat back, across the pleats and stitching. Lots of thinking and then I remember I have recently brought a new brown leather belt and sure enough the colour matches........................... so how to remove brown leather polish from my lovely ivory leather? 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

i was disappointed to hear it was your belt, i thought you were going to say that you have had a few scarey moments  2002 td6 vogue, 06 supercharged facelift

Hi Tim,

I use baby wipes, or if its really bad saddle soap and a good lather.

If the dye gets left too long on though its there for good! - leather dye isn't meant to come out - but it does off new belts, I always wipe new ones down with a wet towel to try to prevent any dye migration.

you could always try wearing your shirt out of your panties

Baby wipes, or Supagard leather wipes - either will do the job. Just had to wipe mine down (second time since I bought it). Land Rover Addict

of subject a bit but why does the FFRR come with leather right on the inside door handle where you are most likely to get it dirty..i would have thought a hard ,easy to clean material like wood would have been better.... ... - .- -.

A small amount of Autoglym Intensive tar remover worked in gently with a soft nail brush or cloth will remove most stubborn stains from light coloured leather. I have used it on my parchment interior without any issues. 06MY 4.4 V8 Autobiography Cairns Blue with Navy & Parchment Interior

My Old Mother swore by it .......  ====================================

"Open Mike Night " sounded like a lot of fun until i found out i was going to an Autopsy

And yesterday before this was posted I went out and bought a bottle of Autoglym leather cleaner and another of Autoglym leather polish and feed.............all for £19 when I could have been a tightwad and spent £1.99 on some household cleaner instead. Story of my life.......................... today over on RRSport's For Sale somebody is selling a bike carrier without the hitch mount.................... I have the hitch mount but dumped the carrier bit 3 years ago because I wasn't going to be buying another FFRR and last week I paid a Land Rover dealer £239 for a whole new carrier system.................... then James at LPR comes on and says that he too has found the carrier section but has no hitch mount, at the back of a cupboard in the showroom  2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes
