Need leather help

[Jim Nazarian]

Nobody knows what caused the stains & house manger tried to clean unsuccessfully, I tried both Chemspech's & Masterblends Leather cleaner & stains didn't budge, so I need suggestions,

Thinking about trying this http://www.leatherworldtech.com/Leather-Master-Dye-Transfer-Cleaner-p/lmldtc.htm

That may not be a stain. Too me it looks like the pigment and protection is missing. What you are seeing is the natural grain of the leather. A repair may be necessary.

Agreed, but they can't figure out what could have caused the pigment to be damaged in 5 areas like that so I thought I would try a specialty cleaner before looking into re-dying.

Won't hurt to try but qualify the customer well

Great Scott Warrington, said what I was thinking, re the mould.

To me, it looks like a finished (protected/pigmented) leather, going by the shine in one pic.

If so, this is NOT a job for an untrained person as it is a repair job, not just a simple clean.
