Glitter on leather seats...help needed!
Hello fellas,
All right, so my girl buys this fancy bed comforter with patterns and glittler on it. I sit on it, and without noticing the glitter stuck to my pants, I proceed to sit in my car and drive home. A few days later I notice silver glitter stuck to my black leather seat. Apparently because it's been on th seat for a few days, it literally stuck to the seat, and the only way to get it out is by using my nail, one glitter dot at a time. I did notice that using my nail irritates the leather a little, so I prefer not to do it that way. I have tried: a damp cloth, leather cleaner, and leather conditioner, none of which get it off, regardless of pressure.
Please advice!
Thanks!

LOL that sucks. I thought you were going to say you were having stipper sex in the G and got glitter everywhere. Would have made for better story. GL though I am not sure what to do about that one. When it is all over my sheets I just through them in the washer.

Try using one of those lint rolls you use on clothes - the ones that are like a roll of masking tape. Or just use some strips of masking tape. The adhesive is not very stong and it shouldn't hurt the leather and remove most of the glitter. That should get most of it.

Stop letting your girl put anything with glitter on it in your bedroom! Or stop cross dressing and blaming it on your "girl". I know how to get that out but refuse to tell you because you got GLITTER ON YOUR SEATS FROM YOURSELF AND NOT A DRUNKEN STRIPPER. Not cool man.
But, seriously get a roll of packing tape and roll it around your hand or whatever with the sticky side out and a flat surface on your palms. Press it firmly against the glitter and peel it off. I think this will work, but test in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it won't harm the leather surface. If any of it is stick in the perforation dots, use a toothpick.

Come on, tell the truth. You dropped some make-up on the seat while doing your make-up in the mirror. Try using some cover up or blush, LOL.
j/k - try using Lexol leather cleaner and conditioner after. Great stuff.

Lol...guys, I used lexol cleaner and conditioner and it didn't remove it. I proceeded to use tape and try to get it off, and it was only partially successful. A lot of those little glitter things seem to be really stuck to the leather. Again, I don't wanna go crazy using a finger nail and scratch the leather. Maybe I should just be more patient and try the tape over and over until all of it comes off? At this point there isn't much left and it's barely noticeable...but it bothers me because I know they are there...

Try silly putty. It molds, so it can eaily get in all the cracks and pores. It is how I got all the sand out of my seats after the beach in my G35. Worked really well.
Just clean your seats after
