King Ranch Seats

I have a big grease spot on my King Ranch front seat. I put a greasy food bag on it and it left me a big spot. The king ranch leather just sucked the grease up. I tried to clean it with some Lexol leather cleaner but it didn't help at all. Does anyone have any ideas on cleaning it without damaging the color.
I would add a picture if I knew how to add it to this thread

Haven't tried saddle soap yet. My first reaction was the Lexol cleaner. I just panicked but I will try the saddle soap to see if that helps.

Try it in a spot that is hidden first to ensure it does not discolor the leather.

You will have to treat the leather with a conditioner afterwards.

Problem with King Ranch leather is that it's not really protected/sealed like traditional leather seats. It's Aniline.

Try some talc powder on the stain over night. Then a saddle soap finished with conditioner. Don't be too bummed, your seats can be easily re-colored. I had it done last year and am about to again in the next couple weeks.

If you're a DIY'er check this out:
