Cleaning Belt Stains from leather seat back
I have the stone leather interior in my E320 and my pants belt leaves, for lack of a better term, a stain across the seat back at the belt level. This has not only happened my E320, but other vehicles with light colored leather seats, I have owned. In the past I have tried a number of leather cleaners, but none of them will eliminate the stain, or even partially remove it.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Zymol cleaner doesn't work.

RE: Cleaning Belt Stains from leather seat back
I have the same problem with my daily driver, 2000 Honda Acura 3.2 TL with tan interior. I tried everything, Meguire’s leather cleaner, Murphy’s Oil Soap, saddle soap, variety of household cleaners, OxyClean, Dawn, special leather cleaner bought at the auto parts store, Magic Wand, etc. No luck.
I didn’t damage the leather, though, and my work on it did lighten the stain. After 3 years and 30K miles, the stain has faded quite a bit. Appears that the stain isn’t as colorfast as the original leather color. I bought a cloth belt for the times that I don’t wear a jacket. Else, I put a towel on the seat back (Hey, its just me in the car!).
My 2005 SLK Diamond Silver has blue leather. Black interior is so dreary.
