I have 2 lines of blue line from a pen on my passenger side seat. I can't seem to get rid of it.

BTW I'm not giving anymore people rides for lunch

DEVIL CONCOURS,

I had a black pen mark on my seat, the pen left an indentation, but with a little muscle and Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Wipes, I was able to remove the ink,

After trying several dedicated leather cleaners, try Murphy's oil soap. won't hurt anything, and it can clean.
Then i found this on google "1 teaspoon of washing soda (like Arm & Hammer) to 1 quart of water"

Now the isopropyl alcohol idea,

well I did that on a car of mine...it worked, but dried and cracked the leather. You'd really have to be desperate to use this...and be ready to drop some GOOD conditioner/restorer on afterwards.

good luck man! :)

It worked for me. I have a book from Consumer reports titled "How to Clean Pratically Anything", I'll read up and see what it says about ink on leather,

Try WD-40. It has worked for me.

Meguiar's Gold Class Leather Cleaner and Conditioner (not the wipes). Take a dab of the cream and rub it in a little, then put another dab on the ink to cover generously. Let it sit for a half hour. Then use either your fingernail to gently rub or your finger sticking through a terry cloth towel and rub. I've gotten ink out of tan leather link this.

Try a little woolite with a 6:1 dilution. If that doesn't work try the Mr Clean Magic Eraser. The if yo get it off re-condition the leather in that spot.

try saddle soap. It cleans leather really well. I use it on my ball gloves and shoes etc...
