Leather Sofa Peel And Stain. Help Appreciated

[rarapaul]

Hello there,

I have run into some trouble with my leather sofa. I had electrical tape strapped onto one of the arms for an unrelated reason. Upon removing it, it seems to have taken off the surface leather with it. I have tried to remedy this by applying baby oil to hopefully combat the adhesive left by the tape. Although this has stained the leather considerably. Please check the photos provided as it would be very much appreciated if you could spare me some advice on how to remedy the situation,

Kind regards, Paul

Saddle soap and some water, make a foam and work that into the arm wipe down with a clean towel then buff. That should get rid of any grime and oils. Not sure what you can do about the surface damage from the tape.

Just a guess but some leather balm might darken it up where the tape took off the surface.
