Well, I dj'd a party last night and they had a birthday cake fight. Some got on the bottom of my backpack which I didn't see and I so happen to put my backpack on the backseat. Went outside to grab it today and low and behold - I have some red marks on my light grey leather seats! Can someone suggest any methods or what you can do to remove it? Thanks!

have you tried a damp towel yet?

If that doesn't work, you can try a leather cleaner such as lexol, leather masters, leatherique. Go from there and tell us if it works

Yes I used a damp towel.. then I used Lexol.. came off a little, but still there.

Check out this interesting and potentially helpful discussion regarding blue jean dye stains on light grey/beige leather seats and how to remove them.

I'll try them, but after reading that.. most or all of those methods didn't work.

I imagine the oils in the frosting have sort of soaked into the surface making it a bit harder to clean up.

I would use an all purpose cleaner than can gut through grease and oil, but is still safe for most leathers when used properly. I would recommend Meguiar's D101 agitated with a stiff leather brush. Then wipe with a damp towel to remove the cleaner from the surface (may need to rinse and repeat several times).

This is the method I use to clean my own leather twice a year. It works great at removing dirt/sweat/oils from the leather and leaves a nice, matte, soft feeling afterwards. You can then condition & protect the leather if you'd like.
