A friend of mine has been helping with the decorating :yes: however he managed to get gloss on him self then on to my nice black leather passenger seat :no: Luckily it was spotted straight away so most of it wiped straight off, however there are a few tiny white specs which have dried :no: :no: :no:

Is there anything that can remove it without damaging the leather :(

noooo not good if its dried, you could try some white spirit & work it in fairly well
whatever you try make sure you feed the leather well afterwards

maybe try it on a cotton bud to keep it localised to the paint?
stick up a picture I can't believe its that bad that you need to shell out & get a new seat

Got to watch spirit based doesn't remove the dye from the leather.

Its not that bad as to replace a seat really, it would have been if it wasn't spotted sooner was a patch the size of your hand span. now there is just specs as I say. most people probably wouldnt notice now after a scrub, but my eyes are just drawn to it :(

If it's gone hard get a magnifying glass and a needle or pin and see if you can get under the paint, it may flick off in pieces.

May take some time, but I reckon you'll crack it mate.
