You can buy 91% Isopropyl Alcohol from Walgreens and apply to the cover with a cloth and this sticky coating comes off easily. Worked great on mine and took about 20 minutes to get all coating off but just need to keep alcohol off all other areas. Just follow up with wiping off with water and use a leather conditioner/other product to treat and all will be done and you save additional work and money. Hope this helps.
