Got blue ink on white seat

[Mikey122687]

So the GF has a pen in her back pocket and this happened. What's the best way to clean it? rubbing alcohol?

Try magic eraser. That works on a lot of surface and Tesla sales gal told me if I ever get anything on the white seats to use it. She used it and works.

Magic erasers are slightly abrasive. I'd be careful when using it on the seats. They do work really well though.

Rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer (pretty much a gel form of rubbing alcohol) tackle ink well. But DON’T RUB, blot. I would probably use a q-tip to apply and a cloth to blot, starting with the tiniest of areas to see what I’m up against.

Is she 12? Who has an ink pen in their back pocket?

I use alcohol and water. Family Dollar sells a small spray bottle for $2. I keep it in my door pocket and use it for first aid and sanitizer.

Like others have said, alcohol. Pen ink is alcohol based typically. Re wetting it with that will take it right up.

When is her funeral?

 

[Mikey122687]

I tried alcohol and this is the best I can do right now.

You can still see the blueish hue to it.

P.S I'm now single.....

I got stain (paint) on my white Apple Watch band and used a Magic Eraser. It did work very well. This was a
over 2 years ago and I still have the band and it looks good as new.

"Magic Erasers" are melamine foam. It works by abrading the surface and can leave small scratches.

My delivery person said to use Windex to clean the white seats. Have yet to try it personally. Bjorn uses Autoglym Leather Cleaner in this video and it looks decent.

Use a small bit of WD40 on a microfiber cloth. Rub gently. Worked well for blue pen stains on my Ferrari F355 seat. A co-worker asked to sit in the car and forgot they had a pen in his back pocket. An upholsterer told me about this trick. After removal of stain, lightly dampen a potion of the microfiber with water to remove WD40 from seat. Use leather cleaner (like Leather Honey) on entire seat to help protect and keep clean.

People still use pens?

Ok, this method works!

Great to hear. Maybe you can let the (ex)GF back in the car now ...
