help!?! how can I get ball point pen marks off grey leather car seats? (as in the leather seat of my car, not like a baby's car seat) I don't have any leather cleaner - any other ideas that work??

ooh yes hairspray does work, basically anything with alcohol in it.

OK - according to Kim & Aggie's Cleaning Bible - to remove ballpoint pen from leather upholstery you should dab the marks with a white cotton wool pad dipped in milk. Then wipe with a solution of soap flakes and dry. It then goes on to say that if this doesn't work try spraying with a little hairspray and rubbing gently with a soft cloth!! Hope it works.

Try baby wipes. I got a pen mark off a leather sofa with these.

You could try nail polish remover on cotton wool....however I take no responsibility for any damage to your sofa...

surgical spirits (or vodka) on a cotton-bud, and dab very gently using as little as possible, don't pour it on the stain.
