I pulled out my mustang from storage and had some plastic sitting on the back seat and some of the paint from the plastic decided to attach itself to my seat. Anyone know a good method in taking it off without ruining the material?

You could try some WD-40 on a rag and rub it but try iy on a non conspicious spot first. I think WD would be ok to use on leather.

I'll try the Wd-40 later this week. Also, possibly might try some paint thinner.

paint thinner might be a bit harsh on the leather
