Removing a ballpoint pen mark from Red Leather Seat?
I have no idea how it got there, but the passenger seat cushion of my 230i has a ballpoint pen mark on it.
So far I've tried water (no result) diluted Woolite (seemed to work on part of it), and Lexol cleaner (not much result, as far as I can see). I'm afraid to rub too hard. I've been using microfibre cloths. Any suggestions? |

I just came across this article that discusses how to remove ink from leather:

You are right to only use microfibre clothes and/or soft brush-no hard pressure!
I used Zaino Z9 and Z10 to clean jean dye marks that rubbed off on the seats from dark denim. Worked like a charm on coral red leather! Quote:

I tried a bit of canola oil with a Q-tip, and it seems to work. A tiny bit of the leather dye comes off but a lot less than when I used isopropyl alcohol.
