Gray Leather Stain???

:mad: Stupid birds!!!

Anyway I got hit today and I had the back window down.

To keep this short, some rather large bird s@#t got on my gray leather. I don't even want to talk about the side of my car.

I'm at work and I got it off with a paper towel and water as soon as I could, but it left a yellow stain.

What should I use to get the stain out? Please help.

I would look for a good quality leather cleaner. You might want to check with an upholstery shop or a shoe repair shop. I don't know if Zaino would work (Z-9 and Z-10).

I just thought of another question; does BMW or someone else sell leather dye that matches the interior colors? On my old BMW, the leather was very black and I could use black shoe polish for the areas on the driver’s seats that get worn from getting in and out of the car.

Thanks for your help and reply.

On your leather question, you should be able to use any leather shoe dye. I would go for grey and apply in coats.

But please do a test first... Such as some old shoes etc...

Here's what you do... Apply, let dry, polish and you should be good to go.

I just ordered my first batch of Zaino products including Z-9 and Z-10. But its not here yet.

I also called the dealership and they said to bring it by and their detailers might be able to get it out.

Now to deal with the bird s@#t scratch!!! Arrrrggg... Stupid bird :mad:

Good luck, hope they can get the stain out.
Sounds like it's time to use the A/C instead of open windows.
Keep a shot gun handy just is case the bird returns.
