Re: RE: ink on leather
Then it is not a ball point pen as you stated. Are you sure it wasn't a Sharpie?Originally posted by sportnwd2001 Air NautiqueComment

RE: ink on leather
you need old style aerosol hairspray. like Aquanet or something. Not sure if you can even still get that kind of stuff. We used to use that in a refurb center, and got ink of of anything.the WakeSlayer

Acetone will do the trick. But be careful, because acetone, if left on the vinyl for too long, will begin to dissolve the vinyl as well. So apply the acetone with a cloth and rub the inkstain until it's gone (you should see the ink begin to dissolve quite quickly--if not, stop rubbing). Then IMMEDIATELY liberally spray a dishwashing solution all over the same area. This will dilute and neutralize the acetone. Then wipe everything up with a cloth.
I learned this method from the marina where I purchased my boat and it worked like a charm. But use it at your own risk.Comment

What about WD-40 ? I have removed all sorts of odd marks from vynil and even carpet with this. Must be worth a tryComment

gas maybe
also just let the sun at it and usually those can bleach out someComment

May daughter wrote all over the leather seats in the back of my Tahoe. Nothing would remove it.
A month or so later.....gone. The booties in the back rubbed off all the ink.
Maybe just live with it for a while before putting harsh chemicals all over your seats. Make at least one passenger sit on the writing while you're out.

Sorry to be a bearer of bad news but I spoke to a friend about this matter and he said "you can't get it off"
This has been discussed on similiar threads with similiar conclusions, the products listed above will all cause damage/softening/premature wear etc.
I agree with AirTool. Wait it out, it will fade with time .Comment

Try getting a bottle of Murphy's Oil Soap and putting a big glob on the stain. Leave it for a long time, then see what happens. I've used this many times over the years on leather, vinyl and other material with a log of success.Comment
