I have had the car for 3 months now and it has some marks on the leather that I want to deal with. The drivers door pull area was dirty/sticky, so I uses a cleaner, then a balm. No dice, in fact the area looked like it was turning blue as it was cleaned.. There is also a blue stain, very light, on the rear bench centre back rest low down that refuses to respond to cleaners.
I'm tempted to use a kit to restore the leather. Has anyone UK based had experience in this area before I scuttle off to a detailing forum?
white/ivory leather care and cleaning has been covered here numerous times with product recommendations. It's usually in reference to dye stains from jeans. It also would not matter where someone is located as stains are stains and procedures would be the same. Sadly once body oil and dye stains are set they may not fully come out of white leather. If they are handled quickly they usually are not an issue.

We have had 2 RR with the ivory interior, and while we didn't or haven't had them very long (2016 RR - 16 months and 2017 RR - only 4 months so far). I make sure to give the leather a good cleaning every 2 weeks or as soon as I see a stain and our leather looked (on the 2016) and still looks (on the 2017) like brand new. The guy who bought our 2016 was in total shock when he saw the driver seat still looked brand new.
In my specific case the car is not new, and not new to me. The marks were present on delivery from the LR dealer who was unable to remove them. in fact he had the car for nearly two weeks and was unable to address the paint issues, and the leather marking. I don't trust the dealer to use the right tools for the job on the leather.
So I am left with the remedial actions, at least I get to apply the right tools and the right methodology. Thanks for the input, I'll perform a wider search.
