Olive oil gets paint off of leather

I googled for a way to get paint off leather today because i needed to remove an old gloss paint smear on my red leather momo seats and found a post that suggested using Extra Virgin Olive oil. Ready to try anything, i popped out and bought a bottle and couldnt believe it... came right off !! i kid you not i've seen this with my bare eyes... amazing.

P.s not sure if the oil strictly has to be extra virgin ... but i wasnt taking any chances.

Good tip

That's amazing. Thanks for sharing

Just tried this on my sofa as it had a spot of gloss stuck to it after recent decorating,worked a treat.
My best tip i ever got is to polish stainless steel with baby oil works great on cookers and hoods etc,seems to keep them cleaner for longer.
cheers ken.

After oiling the surface I'd recomend using a leather cleaner and conditioner... otherwise the oil might end up leaving a different color area on the leather, when the "oiled" leather stays moist, and the other areas dry up.
