Default Detailing Question

OK, I had two black scuff marks I couldn't get out of the interior with Griotts interior cleaner. I decided to take a more aggressive approach. I once had some deep grey grime in the leather seats of an Audi s4 the co. leased me. I couldn't get them out with the usual suspects. The dealer came out with some stuff that smelled of petroleum distillate . I'd NEVER use anything that harsh. Well they came right out.

So, decided to try OOOPS on these marks. Had one on the bottom corner of the seat (the plastic) that came out perfect. Had what looked like two black ink drops on the steering wheel where the horn is. This spread from 2 pen marks to something the size of a nickel. Looks like the color is wearing away from the plastic but don't see how that is

Anyone offer some help?

SEM makes some good color matching touch ups.

Soft scrub works great for removing scuffs and marks from plastic and leather!

SOFT SCRUB HAS BLEACH!!!! Sorry for all caps but please do not use soft scrub on your interior leather, you'll destroy it! Use something without bleach in it. Even a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (which is like a very very fine sandpaper) or saddle soap would be better options in my opinion.
