Steering wheel spot damaged

Recently had my car painted and somehow the idiot Green Reconditioning dude got a little paint on my steering wheel. I tried removing it with leather cleaner and Magic Eraser and think I made it worse.

How do I fix this or is there a special detailing shop that can make this go away?

Or a steering black dye???


Thanks,

Forget that, the shop should be on the hook for that. But if you decide to not pursue option 1, what I would try next would be Leatherique rejuvenator. That spot now looks dry so what the Leatherique will do is hopefully lift any of the initial substance you were trying to get off, then get the leather soft again.
Ill also recommend you grab a bottle of the prestine clean for after.

Leather steering wheel repair

Thanks for the referral N1RVE appreciated. I end up using Lee from Pioneer Leather Restoration from Socal and he did a fantastic job in making my steering wheel look brand new again, whew! Man he was extremely professional in how he worked, how he covered my dashboard while he did his craft, didn't even move my seat and in 30 mins was like MAGIC.... can't even tell.

Very professional in showing up on time, explained the procedure and absolutely fair pricing.

I highly recommend this gentleman with his service and he's mobile also. Being how anal and nut case I am with my F80 M3, trust me I did my research and vetted the top guys out!
