Default Oh no - Filler on my leather seats.

Picked my escos up from the painters earlier after having the front bumper done, when I removed the plastic seat cover they had used to protect my seats I found filler or someting under the cover - on my leather seats Tried picking it but it won't come off! My seats were in very good nick and obviously I want them to stay that way, Any ideas to get the shit off without damaging them?????

If you are sure they did it, take it back and insist they sort it out I hate it when your car comes back with marks or other shit that was not there before.

Try soaking cotton wool in leather renovator and seal it over the area with plastic bag. Leave for 24 hours it should soften everthing enough to remove safely. Has worked for me in the past, just depends exactly what it is that stuck to seat.
