removing suntan lotion from leather

i was at the beach and gave my friend a ride. she had too much suntan lotion on and got it all over my seats and interior! it left a white residue. i used zymol leather cleaner and conditioner and got most of it out but there's a bit of residue left. any tips to get the last bit out? any special types of brushes i should be using?

Suntan Oil
Or sunless tanning lotions- to clean leather that has oil / grease stains, there are a couple of different things to try;

a) Leather Master Rapid S Cleaner is a concentrated cleaner specifically designed for automotive leather (including Nappa and Perforated) that have accumulated dirt, soil, and dye transfer, oil or grease and body oils.

b) If the stain is fresh it can be treated and successfully removed with cornstarch rubbed briskly into the stain with your fingers until the heat from the friction is felt. The heat loosens the oil and allows the cornstarch to absorb the oil before the leather can; if the stain has ‘set’ use baking soda and leave over-night.

c)Leather Master™ Leather Degreaser, an aerosol product for cleaning oily stains; it dissolves and removes oil and grease from leather surface. This cleaner can be applied for cleaning all types of leather.

Dispense foam onto the car seats, work foam into the surface with a dampened sponge, allowing it to sit for one minute and wipe the foam away with a clean 100% cotton micro fibre towel, and then protect with Protection Cream

Covered leather - (P-Protected / Coated) Iz einszett 'Plastik-Reiniger' is an intensive, non-corrosive, non-acidic aqueous (water- based) detergent cleaner for urethane.

Prevention - since body dirt and oil are a big stain factor in leather, be cognizant of bare skin when you are in your vehicle. If you use suntan lotion a lot, be sure to use a towel when you get back in your vehicle so that the oil does not get onto your leather. You can also use a towel when leaving the gym as body oils/ perspiration contain organic acids that will stain.

Leather Master™ - Protection Cream will provide resistance against this type of stains, spills and provides the hydration necessary to keep the leather soft and supple

Use this:

Gently and effectively cleans the leather. Leaves a nice satin finish. No funky smells. All-natural.

Just spray directly on to leather, agitate with soft bristle brush, then wipe with mf towel.
