Hey all, I’ve got a bit of an issue with my BMW X5 and wanted to see if anyone here has dealt with this before.
I had a shirt bleed some dye onto the center console (looks like it transferred from the fabric onto the surface), and now I’ve got a noticeable stain. I tried a light wipe with mild soap and water, but it didn’t fully come out.
For those of you who’ve had dye transfer on your interior:
What actually worked for you?

Did you use a specific leather cleaner or product?

Any methods I should avoid so I don’t damage the finish?

Trying not to make it worse.

Also for context my interior color is Silverstone.
Appreciate any advice or product recommendations that actually worked for you.
