Tire marks on leather seat

Ever since I purchased my IS I had these marks on the rear seat.

When the previous owner delivered the car he put 2 winter tires on the back seat but he didn't protect the seat well before leaving a nice sumitomo mark across the middle part of the rear seat.

Tried many things to remove the mark but nothing has work to clean it all off. Haven't tried magic eraser yet but I had a bad experience using it on my boat seats damaging the top coat and I'm not too sure I want to try it on my car.

Any suggestions, from experience or not that could take these off without damaging the leather?

Head to Canadian Tire and pick up AutoGlym Leather Cleaner and Leather Balm and a medium bristled brush. Follow the instruction on the bottles and you should be good to go! If that isn't enough, then Folex will do the trick. Also available at Canadian Tire.

For reference, here is a red leather interior that was cleaned with AutoGlym. This is a 50/50 shot.

Question is will it remove the tire mark as I have allready tried several leather treatments and non has worked.
Its better then it was but dtill awefull.
 
So far, Folex has not met a stain it could not remove, as far as I know and have tried. what leather treatments have you tried so far?
 
if its just dirt then the average interior detail products + some elblow grease will work. maybe a good steam cleaner.

but that wont work all the time. Example, if the tire is hot and you let it sit on the leather for some time, it can give off some crap that wont come off short of sanding and redying the seats. a hot tire can lift garage floor paint, imagine the mess it can make of your interior.

ive seen many people cause more damage then good with magic eraser, so that's a gamble too.
 
I have tried some leAther cleaners that I previously used on my leather couches. Worked every single time in the house but i guess this stain is pretty deep.
Also tried mcguiar leather cleaner, 303...

I'll have to try that folex stuff and see how it does. Heavent really tried a brush yet, thanks for the advice.
So I assume folex is safe to use on leather
 
Yep. I even went back to do a quick search to confirm my personal findings and it was said that it was safe for leather.
 
Tried folex today, It's a no go. It didnt remove any of it unfortunetly.

Dont know wbat to try next :S
