Exclamation Argh!! Stain alert!

Damn, I got back to take something in my car tonight and I'm like OMFG! what's that crap on my seat?

there's a kind of pinkish stain on my seat, I have no clue what it is but I'M sure it's from my commute since it was clean when I left work, my pants were clean too so I really don't know what the heck it could be.

problem is that it doesn't want to go away, I tried with my fingers: nah, with some water, nope! with a product we had at home? no way, then I went to canadian tire and bought armorall oxyclean or something like that, but didn't help either..

so I'm looking for SAFE suggestions, I don't want it to become worse nor leave stains or whatever.

got any idea of what it could be?

here are some pics, you can see it's still wet from failed treatments but just look at the pink thing

whatever it is do you have an idea to remove it?

I might try some tide-to-go thing... but I'm affraid it'll decolor the seat fabric

You can try whatever you want on the bottom edge of the seat...that way, you'll know if it works but no one else will if it doesn't.

I don't know how much will come out but

1st -make it damp with some cleaner

2nd-get a white clean towel make sure it's white

3rd- grab your iron fill it up with water get it hot

4th- lay the towel across the stain

5th- lay the iron over the towel were the stain is and steam it hold it there for a bit

do that multiple times with different areas of the towel.
You will see some of it coming up on the towel ( hince the reason for a white towel)
It will work, but like I said I don't know how much will come up.

I don't see how a bleach stain would get there, I mean why on a small part like this only?

I tried brake cleaner today and no luck either.. darn!
