Ink on leather

[clm65]

I bought my wife a new car last week. It has nice camel (tan) leather. It took all of 6 days for one of my kids to add a 2" line of blue ink on one of the seats. What is the best cleaner to use that will not damage the leather?

I removed ink from leather effortlessly with McKees 37 APC diluted 4:1. It was so easy it wasn't any fun (if that makes sense). It came off in seconds. I then applied leather protectant to the seats. Not sure how long the ink was there - was not my car.

And when you've removed it invest in some decent car seat covers

Leather Masters makes an ink remover.

I'd be perfectly happy if it comes off so easily that it isn't fun. Are you referring to the McKees 37 MPC? I don't see an APC. Bonus that it is on sale. I'll have to give that a try.

Seat covers over the leather seats? Is that normal? I'd rather get rid of the kids (just kidding!!!!).

I saw that. But only 1 review, and it is 1 star. I rely a lot on the reviews the products get on this site/forum. I don't have a lot of confidence in that product, but to be honest I didn't search much for any other reviews on it. I'll do a quick look.

Haha! Or put a ban on ink, food, drinks. My car is for transportation. Can't have dirty-making stuff in it.
Except the dog. He's got a seat cover.

Excellent! I ordered that earlier today! I was looking in the wrong section yesterday. I also order the Leather Masters Ink Remover. It was cheap enough that I figured it was worth a try.
