Default Big thumbs up to leatherrepairkits.com / Magic Mender

I had a spot on a seat from the previous owner; tried all sorts of various cleaning methods and it wouldn't come out. About the size of a pinky nail. Picked up some "Magic Mender" from http://www.leatherrepairkits.com/colorchart.htm for $24.95 and I can't even tell where the spot was now. The 6 oz. bottle package includes a small applicator and a sponge (didn't use the latter).

Keep in mind I had a scratch and not a stain, but the color matched perfectly. Very impressed!

I have a small but very annoying pen mark from the previous owner on the right side of my center consol.

Lexus has tried twice to get it out, and they say it they scrub too hard that there is a chance that the color would rub out.

do you think this could be a possible fix?

If you're near the Columbus area I could certainly try it for you. Marks are annoying with light interiors.

I'm in Gahanna by the CMH airport.

PM me so we can arrange a time to try this out.

I have always heard hairspray can get ink out. I think it is the alcohol, so rubbing alcohol may work. Not sure if it would affect the color, so use at your own risk.
