Apparently someone that used my car managed to put a pen mark right beneath the passenger side handle, and slight pen lines on the arm rest on the door. Anyone know a good way to get this off without ruining the leather?

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks,
Ryan

Honestly pen to leather is like pen to paper. Its is pretty hard to remove the pen mark without 'scraping' a bit of the leather off.

You need to do it ASAP. The longer it stays there, the harder it is to come off. Try using some leather cleaner with a soft brush and cloth. If that does not come out, try a little bit of tar remover. Rub it in slowly. Gooda luck!

Get a shitload of Lexol Leather Cleaner and just pour it on there. Scrub like your washing grease out of a pan and hopefully everything comes out and your face will be like

I appreciate the input from both of you...heading to get the leather cleaner ASAP. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi there,

Be careful not to scrub to hard, last time I used too much elbow grease it removed the pen mark and made the leather in that area slightly lighter then the rest of the seat.

Also, do not use a cleaner that is too harsh.

Cheers
