Got blue ink on white seat

I used lexol leather cleaner (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005H7DRQA) on my tan seats
My wife just said basically the same thing. For dye transfer from dark blue jeans on my tan model s leather seats I used lexol leather cleaner (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005H7DRQA) and it worked extremely well. That ink spot looks nasty though.

I had some lotion kinda stuff on the black seat, now they look like grease smears on it. I tried soapy water, windex and none worked.
Just wondering, is it safe to use real leather conditioner or cleaner on Model 3 car seats since they are not real leather?
Can't believe those black car seats are so high maintenance.

Don't do that! Magic erasers are just very fine sandpaper.
So I tried alcohol wipes, WD40, magic eraser and none of those hardly made a difference. Looked online for other tips for ink stains and found one talking about spray-on sun screen for blue ink on a white couch.
I will start by saying to make sure you rub VERY gently if you have to go this route. I sprayed some on a Q-tip then started rubbing on the ink and noticed a difference right away. My problem was I got to rubbing a little harder trying the previous options to no avail so I should have gone easier with the sun screen. After a couple running and wiping sessions I noticed that the surface of the seat started to get small abrasions. The stain is not completely gone, but I didn’t want to go any further with the spot showing wear. It’s still visible if you know where to look, but at least it doesn’t jump out at you like it did before.

How quickly did the pen come out when you used the WD40? I've just tried this and unfortunately not having any luck.Great to hear. Maybe you can let the (ex)GF back in the car now

Just an FYI on my old post on this... please do not use Leather Honey since the seats are fake leather. Use 303 Aerospace Protectant. Wrote the post before I received my Model 3 so didn't know any better.

The ink should come off fairly quickly with WD40 given it was removed soon after the stain was made.
I read not to use acetone because it will discolor it, so I’m not sure, too nervous to try it lol. I have a purple pen stain on my seat now that my lovely daughter did (by accident). I’m trying everyone’s trick. Wd40 doesn’t seem to work.
