Battery acid probably wont work - it's sulphuric acid, you want hydrochloric acid although hydrogen peroxide might work. Or sodium hypochlorite (like milton sterilizing solution) could be a gentle alternative.

I've just found a bit of brown suede. I'll post the results later lol!

Dude, if you sort this problem out, it'd be minty fresh of you.

Right, the only thing that has made any impact is Hydrochloric acid.
hopefully it'll look better when it's dry, but you can kinda see that there has been a bit of lightening of the suede in this bad pic...

Well I haven't given up yet, I'm thinking that maybe bleaching isn't the way to go, so I'm gonna see if I can dissolve the dye.
Buying a pair of blue suede boots and cutting them up might end up being easier. Leather work's pretty hard though.
