Default Any suggestions on getting Pen ink off Leatherette?

Hi! Some dumb passenger had a pen in their pocket and now I have blue ball-point pen ink all over the passenger seat. I tried using a general all-purpose claner on the leatherette, but it didn't remove anything. Anyone got ideas about what product to use??

THANKS!!

Default How about some acetone and a Bic lighter?

1. Apply the acetone liberaly to the seat.
2. Spark up the lighter.
3. Hold the flame to the seat.
4. You now have no worries about pen ink on the seat!

Default Hair spray on a damp cloth. Just make sure to test for dye fastness

and clean off the residue and re-condition thoroughly. We used this method to great success on 100K Rolls and Bentleys;-)

use a well known brand though to give your seats the bounce and fullness they deserve!
