0 Rich Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Honestly, I don't think it can be removed. Ink is a dye and leather is porous and absorbs the dye. That sucks. About the only thing I might try would be a small amount of comet on a damp cloth. And then wipe it down. Be sure to use Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner on it right after. Hope it works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bill-V8V Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 A place like this may be able to help you. They would probably need to dye it. http://www.leathermedic.com/map.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 lanespd200 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hairspray? Well, do it lightly......I learned that hairspray gets ink out pretty good but DON'T mess up your leather. Try in a good hiding spot first and see if it discolors it. If it doesn't work.....I never gave the advice. HAHA I guess it may depend how long it has been on there.

0 Rich Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Ever hear of Heloise? Apparently, she's the goddess of cleaning (according to my wife). So I checked her site. Here's the definitive answer. How can I get ballpoint ink off of my favorite light tan leather purse? This happens to most of us at one time or another, and it can be a difficult problem. Leather is delicate and needs to be treated carefully -- like your own skin! The Leather Apparel Association does not recommend any home remedies; they may contain harsh chemicals that can damage the leather. If your purse has a shiny patina or a glossy surface, it's probably been coated and will be easier to treat. Use a commercial product designed specifically for this purpose (available at dry cleaners or shoe-repair shops). Follow the directions carefully and be sure to test in an inconspicuous area first. You can also try what I do: Dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol. It may wipe away the marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 FASN8N Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Try Dow Bathroom Cleaner with Scrubbing bubbles, this stuff works wonders on the interior of cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bill Durr Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 try a leather cleaner called Lexol it is in an orange bottle and follow it up with a conditioner! I used to use it before I found Adams althogh I have yet to try his interior products however if they are anything like his exterior products I am sure I will be hooked to those as well. Good luck!

0 Devin04 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 My friend got black ink on his new black cloth seats. I haven't seen it yet but even though it's black on black I'm sure it still stands out like a sore thumb. Is there anyway to get this out? If it's anything like what I've been reading about the leather it seems there may be little hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at post #9 As with anything try a small area first (even though I have never had any trouble with the DOW scrubbing bubbles removing the color from interior surfaces) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Adam Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Whoooa! I'd hold off on that stuff, and try a little rubbing alcohol on a mf towel. Do a very small are first, then continue. Please take before, during, and after photos! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used this stuff for 15 years and it has never failed me, even on the toughest stains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
