Bicycle chain grease on leather - how do I get this off?
most auto leather cleaners (lexol, townsends, pinnacle etc.) would be a good place to start-
you might need to use them with a degreaser of some sort.
and still might have some stain from the grease that could be really hard to get out...
what color are your seats?

simon- you reminded me that i forgot to mention that!!
my post was only about cleaners to be considered.
once clean, as simon mentions- you need a leather preservative also...

If it is grease, it is petroleum based (I believe bicycle lube is)...so the cleaner may take it off or it may just smear it. Remember with the regular cleaner that if you scrub too hard you can go right through the finish and then you are in some real trouble (need a pro to fix it then).
What you can do is take some Mineral Spirits (harmless to the leather finish) and wipe it off, then clean it, then condition it. This is also the recipe to get shoe scuffs off of leather (takes most petroluem based products off)
Let me know how this goes, thanks
