Have I ruined my armrest?

Hi all

I cleaned the interior leather on my Z4 at the weekend using Dodo Juice (Amazon, good reviews, top of tests etc) - great results, however I left a cloth with the cleaner on on top of my armrest while I answered a phone call and when I came back it had discoloured as below. It was far worse initially while it was damp but it's still unsightly. Has anyone any suggestions? Should I try a restoration kit or am I at the mercy of the professionals? Had a quote for £150 so far which sounds a bit steep. Ivory leather if that makes a difference.

Thanks

Hi, I’d try contacting the manufacturer with a pic if possible & hear what they’ve got to suggest :?

Interested in a follow up to this, I have a similar small stain, that I have tried in vain to shift from inside bolster. Chemical Guys Leather cleaner didnt sort it.
 
£150 is a complete rip off, I was quoted £350 by the 'leather repair company', a premium specialist to recover a coral red drivers seat in my last Z, that was only two years ago.

If you research a company called the furniture clinic who are on the net and ebay they should be able provide a colour matched dye that you can spray or apply with a sponge. The also have a video on how to repair leather which is quite good. I have used this to repair scratches on my seat bolsters and it works a treat,
just make sure you clean the area with rubbing alcohol first to remove any contamination.
