Need help with coffee/Coke stain on leather

[WhitestillenTT]

My mother has a 2005 BMW with light gray leather interior. Somehow either Coke or coffee not sure which has gotten spilled on it and dripped down the sides of the console and seat. It's been on there for about a month now so it's pretty well set in I have tried:

Dawn dish soap
Meguiars APC
Meguiars leather cleaner
Simple Green
Griot's (sorry Meguiars but had to try) surface cleaner
Orangle Glo degreaser and all purpose cleaner

all to no avail. It lightened the drips a tiny bit but not much Technique was both with MF cloth and also with soft brush.

She was also advised by a friend to try rubbing alcohol which started to pull the color in one small test spot before I stopped her. Anyone have any suggestions on what to try that won't damage the seats but might actually get the stain out? Search didn't help much (mainly recommended APC which didn't work this time) so any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

Do you know anyone with a steam cleaner?

Try Oxy-Clean. I got it to remove most dried up stubborn stains.

Oxi-Clean is worth a try.

In fact, I start to realize that some car-detailing product companies start to utilize this "oxygen" technology in their new cleaning products.

Yes she has one but wasn't sure whether or not to try it on the leather.

I'll give the oxi-clean a shot. Thanks guys.
