Advice on fixing my US Wings CE

Post by TheChimp »

Well, I had an accident with my US Wings CE. A grocery bag leaked in my trunk, and soaked a couple of spots on my jacket which happened to be in the way. I let it dry overnight, but it still had visible stains the next day. I tried to fix it by applying some leather cleaner & conditioner (Lexol).... BAD IDEA... While the stain is now gone, it seemed to pull some dye out of the leather so that the pebbly look was removed from the leather. Additionally, the spots that I applied lost all of the sheen that it used to have (and that the rest of the jacket still does have).

Is there anything I can do to fix this?
