got some ballpoint pen scribble on my leather door panel, and I am still upset. some people are just... ugh! anyways, an tips on getting it off without hurting the red leather?

 

one of the olds wives tales that does work on ink is hairspray, but i have no idea of the effect on door panel leather maybe try it on a piece of leather and see what you think. Are you sure the ink is on the leather or is it on the vinyl?


another purported solution is 70% Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol


Remember try it on something other than your door before you do the door and do this at your own risk i guarantee nothing.

 

I think that was back when CFC's were the propellant for spray cans.
I know right guard used to be an excellent cleaner for ink.

 

here is a thread on ink removal

Isopropyl should work fine. I've never used it on the S2k leather, but I've used it on many other leathers with no ill effects. Still a good idea to spot-test, but I don't imagine you'll have a problem.

 

What about something like "Shout" or "Spray n' Wash"? They won't have the "drying effect" that alcohol might.

 

While were at it, anyone have any suggestions to removing magic marker from an alloy wheel. Before i bought my wheels the tire tech had scribbled in magic marker on the inside of them the locations on the car for the previous owner. RF LF RR LR

 

rubbing alcohol should lift it.
I don't know what it would do to the finish though.

 

Thanks for the tip, I am still stewing over the whole incident.
hopefully I won't have too much trouble with it.

 

Jerry, nope didnt budge
