You probably took of a substantial amount of the leather pvc clear coating using that magic eraser.

Leather Finishes

The most fundamental question to be answered before you clean or care for leather is to establish the type of leather used in the vehicle and / or finish applied as the methodologies are very specific for each type

There are two strata’s to automotive leather upholstery; the actual hide and the surface finish. The hides used are generally bovine, which must be kept hydrated to maintain tensile strength, luxurious suppleness and prevent the hide from cracking and becoming dry. Natural leather has a water-based pigmentation applied to the hide to provide an even colour. There is no such thing as a cow with blue, red or burgundy skin.

Covered leather has a further layer of polyurethane applied to provide protection from wear when getting in and out of the vehicle

Always remember you are dealing with the finished coating on the leather and not with the leather hide itself

That's fine. I didn't care for dingy shiny seats. Nothing cleans those seats to my liking. They're not wearing out, are holding color, and are accepting conditioning, and are still very soft and supple- I'm not remotely worried as I'm keeping up with maintenance.
