Default Any Thoughts On Cleaning Seat Stitching?

After a year of ownership, I've noticed that the red stitching on the seats is not as bright as compared to the doors. This, no doubt from normal wear and exposure. I protect the leather regularly with a quality cleaner protector.

Mind you, the difference in color is slight however, noticeable. That said, I am curious if anyone out there has a verifiable solution.

Thanks in advance...

Yes this is easily done.

First thing to try is tide pen. Amazingly effective and won't affect the leather.

If that doesn't cut it then use 303 spot cleaner for upholstery with a Q-tip.

And finally apply some protectant to protect it from picking up stains once you clean it. Any leather sealant or upholstery sealant should work.
