    Unfortunate truth is that it may be stuck there forever. DO not use acetone on the seats as you can damage and also remove the dye.

    Non-acetone nail polish remover is probably the best to use, with a cotton bud or even paper towel and dab very very lightly. Small applications of removal is safest as you can see what may happen.

    Best you condition the seats afterwards as well with something such as Duragloss Leather Conditioner!

    LOL.

    I've just looked up Shannon Lush's SPOTLESS & she says use proper acetone & not nail polish remover.

    To the OP: I'm pretty sure Shannon Lush has a website. She's a professional restorer. I'd ask her, she's pretty cluey on both the theory & practical & has a couple of books on the subject.
