OK, I'm a dumbass and sat down in our car with ball point pen in my back pocket which made a couple of scribble marks on the leather seat.[:O]

What the best way to remove an ink stain without harming the leather?

Thanks!

You cant. Sell the car.

No no no..... try Goo Gone. I used quite a bit yeterday on a plastic horse that my daughter used one of those "sharpie" permanent ink pens on. It worked but try in on an inconspicuous place first just in case it may affect the leather.

BTW, I should sue Sharpie for false advertising... guess its not so "permanent" as they say.

My wife swears that women's hairspray on a cloth will remove ink from leather purses.

Can't hurt to try.

Careful with that goo gone. Dab a little in a hidden place on the seat to make sure its not going to stain and make a bigger problem for you. Hairspray has worked for me in the past. Use it in small amounts. Dab it a little at a time as opposed to scrubbing. Good luck.
