Does anyone know how to get out black ink out of peanut butter leather seats?

Question

I think one of my kids sat down on the seat and had a black pen in their back pocket. I can't get it out. Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

Meguiar's Leather cleaner/conditioner's formula is too weak to tackle ink or tough dirt embedded within the hide or leather. If you can I suggest purchasing online, better and more effective products available.

Products/Equipments: Leatherique Leather Cleaner & Conditioner (preferably) or Zymol Leather Cleaner and Conditioner, Swissvax Leather cleaning brush, Microfiber clothes (these can be bought at Detailedimage.com, PM or leave a note for discount code).

Depending on what leather product you purchase this step can vary. If it is leatherique, apply the conditioner first and let it soak into the leather for about 4 hrs. Then using, the cleaner and Swissvax brush, scrub the seats. The conditioner loosen the dirt and makes it alot easier to remove. Finally buff clean using microfiber cloth. (**note do not buff off the conditioner, the cleaner will do that**)  If you purchase Zymol, you have to use the cleaner first with the Swissvax brush. This will loosen and remove all dirt and ink staining from the hide/leather. Then finally use conditioner, let it soak into the seat for about 10-15 minutes before buffing off using microfiber clothe.

If you cannot purchase online, some products that are widely available that I suggest are Mother's Leather Cleaner, Mother's Leather onditioner,  a boar's hair brush or nylon bristled brush, and microfiber cloth. **note do not  purchase the 2-in-1 leather care products, they are not as effective** Spray the leather cleaner and scrub using the brush. Buff dry using microfiber cloth. Then apply the conditioner, let it dwell for 10-15 mins than remove.
