How to Clean Leather Seats?

I have black leather seats and the guy before me got yellow paint everywhere! I've tried everything to try and remove it but I don't want to wreck the leather in doing so. Any tips??

If the paint has hardened onto the leather.. and pending on what kinda paint it is.. you might be SOL.. anything abrassive enough to take the paint off will damage the leather itself.

after ( if ?) you get the paint off .... make sure you use a leather conditioner to put the natural oil back into the leather !

agreed.... sorry to say it... but ur best bet is to get compensation to get the seat re-upholstered...
