Exclamation Ink remover from leather?!?!?

Hey fellahs....first time poster here.
I'm a proud new owner of a 2003 Supercrew Lariat and this site is just awesome!!

OK, down to the nitty gritty....
I attended a wedding yesterday. Valet parking....I usually NEVER go with Valet, but this time I went against my better judgement and sure enough the SOB got a blue ballpoint ink mark on my leather steering wheel.


Can anyone suggest a product that will remove the ink w/o harming my leather? I'm so upset right now I can't see straight!!

Thanks fellahs.....here's to many more conversations with you guys!!

Well first off welcome!

A good Citrus cleaner should do ya fine. Dont rub the area too much and let it work in a bit.

Again Welocme to the boards.

I know you'll probably cringe when I say this but, I'd take it by either an auto-detail shop or a auto-upholstry shop to let them have a stab at it.

The citrus cleaner might work but, I'm somewhat leary knowing what the pH is of those types of cleaners.

Just my two cents. Good luck

Try Rave Hair Spray

I have used that Rave Hairspray to remove ink of of carpet and leather before. Its in a Turqoiuse bottle and cost about $2. (Test it first on a hidden area of the leather)
