Actually, I do have a suggestion. Throw up in the same spot and see if your puke loosens up the dried puke when it soaks in and then you can wipe them both up?

I'm sorry to hear about your little mishap, dude. Here's something I found on the internet:

Unremovable Spots

I guess a restorer/upholstery shop is your best bet. Look on the bright side - you hated your seat covers anyway.

this is deifinitely the most unique thread I've ever read on this site.

Try the IZ cockpit premium. It has some citrus properties that can bite
through the upchuck. Follow up with the 1Z leather care and Lexol to condition.

I HIGLY encourage you to use a microfiber towel. I used that with the 1Z leather care to get this stupid girl's chewing gum out my seats. Took an hour with soapy water but it all came out.

You can both seats redyed.

Costs about 75 bucks each at a good shop.

Looks like new assuming the leather is not totally shot.

I've not found "new" seats at a dismantler for a $1000. They're more like 1800.00 in new or like new condition. Older seats with wear marks where the driver has slid into the seat year after year (just like the ones I have) now are $1000.

My local upholstry shop said they'd recover each of my seats front, back and sides for no more than $500 each, by the way. If the slides and electronic back adjustments work fine, this may be a good way for you to go if the stains don't come out.

And while it must have been very humbling to post this question on this forum, I want to thank you... I always wondered what that crusty crap was on my passenger seat that stained and hardened the perforated leather, and now I know it was a previous owner's girlfriend or buddy's puke!

It just has to be the results of highly acidic vomit. I found marajuana in the cracks of both seats so I know it was owned by at least one person who loved to party.

Hope you learned your lesson though. Anticipate the multi-color yawn well in advance next time and find a curb in which to

(oh, there's never been a better time to use that emoticon!!!)

Go to http://www.leatherique.com and check out their restoration kit. It has a great cleaner, and leather rejuvenator to soften it back up. I've used this stuff on my 19 year old leather in the 928 and it's soft again like factory new.

The Leatherique products are amazing. I spent some time with them earlier this year and learned a lot about leather and leather care. I need to order some more stuff from them so I can do my seats.

If you're ever in a car and need to puke, the best thing to do is to pull out the neck of your shirt and puke down the inside. Yes it's completely disgusting, but taking a shower and burning your shirt is way easier than cleaning the car!

Note: This works best if your shirt is tucked in.

Ewww...

Every once in a while my wife says to me, "You better slow down through that clover-leaf, or else I am going to throw-up in your car!" That works for me! Works faster than if I see a police car sitting in the shadows!

WOW, it's been over a year since this happened?! Well, to give you all an, it's still pretty much the same.

More specifically, the hardness of the leather didn't really go away, but with time and reintroduction of my girlfriend's arse, the leather has crack at the seams of the threading. The yellow foam/cushion is partly exposed, but it's not that bad, and not too noticible. I do plan on reuphostlering both of my seats some time this century. This will make one hell of a DIY with some leather hides I can buy from a provider. I'll try to post some pics of my current seat condition.
