enigma-2 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Years ago, probably back in the 60's, there was a product that cleaned dryed on, blue/black ink out of a white shirt. It was called Swipe. (I don't know if this is the same product or not: http://www.swipehomecare.com/.) Anyway, the way it worked was (I was told) it chemically reacted to the ink and turned it clear. Can't vouch that this is the same as what I remember, but looks like it. Wouldn't hurt to try insmasmuch as your looking to replace the leather anyway.

Nick Halstead Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 have you tried rubbing alcohol yet? dab and fold, don't dab same part of paper towel twice. I do this with my uniforms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwf78155 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Tried the nail polish remover and it took the grey out of the leather... I'm worse off now and defiantly need to replace the grey leather portion of the seat now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Perhaps replacing the entire seat cover would be easier. Here's what I'm thinking of: http://m.ebay.com/itm/2008-2013-Ford-Edge-OEM-passenger-lower-Factory-leather-seat-cover-/282254674908?hash=item41b7b08bdc%3Ag%3AF30AAOSwjXRXcaL5&_trkparms=pageci%253Aa882b5c0-b12a-11e6-b541-74dbd1807e79%257Cparentrq%253A8f2b8bae1580a5e0a74ae7deffefd2bc%257Ciid%253A1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwf78155 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I have searched High and Low for a seat cover to do a replacement....problem is, I can't find a black/grey cover that is specific to the Ford Edge Sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulSchott Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Try http://www.colorbondpaint.com They have exact match spray dyes that have worked for me in refinishing my dash armrest and steering wheel. The match is invisible and you won't be spending hundreds for a new panel or seat cover. The stuff holds up like the original finish. My steering wheel had to be wet sanded before it could be sprayed. some ware on this site are pictures of the finished work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwf78155 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 www.colorbondpaint.com does not have the color for the 2013 Ford Edge Sport's Black/Grey seats. Ford's grey color is called Silver Smoke. Thanks for trying to help me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Perhaps a different dealer might offer better service. Why not contact these people and see what they can come up with. https://parts.lakelandford.com/a/Ford_2013_Edge37L-V6-FWDSport/_51505_6476434/FRONT-SEAT-COMPONENTS-SEATS--TRACKS/MS11440.html Btw, have you tried finding one from a wrecked car? There's a search site online (used it years ago when looking for a blue, leather steering wheel for my Merc Sable. Turned out a yard somewhere in Southern Ohio had one like new.) Don't have the url anymore, but it should pop up in a Google search. Edited November 23, 2016 by enigma-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwf78155 Posted November 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Thanks enigma-2 Ive found quite a few wrecked and totaled 2013 Edge's.......but no 2013 Edge Sports ! I sent a message to Lakeland Ford to see if they can get me the leather two colored seat bottom. I'm going to print that page and see if my local dealer can help if I take them the page......they told me they could'nt get it on my first trip to them for help. Thanks Again...Happy THANKSgiving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwf78155 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 I found a company called Classic Leather Dye classicleatherdye.com and they shipped me the exact color dye for my vehicle. They mix the dye to provide an exact match. I put it on and its a absolute perfect match and covered perfectly. I re-dyed that part of the seat twice Treated it with Lexol last night and it looks like brand new leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
