How to remove Pen ink stain from an Dakota leather seat?

OK.
So no matter how well and for how long you take care and pamper your car, one day is more than enough for your wife to take care of it!!!

A dark blue pen ink on my Dakota BEIGE leather....

I've gently tried water, then soap and finally alcohol...the stain is pretty much faded...but a light line of stain is still there...
any ideas how to remove the whole thing, nice and clean?

Thanks for the tips.
Cheers

Try one of those Magic Erasers? It's a spongy thing that gets marks off about anything.

Try it in an inconspicuous place first.

Post a question on detailing world, I'm sure one of the pro guys will know what to use

I used hairspray on my sofa at home and it worked awesome, Colour was tan so not sure about Black. I know it will remove the ink but would try on a hidden surface first. Good Luck!

I've used Leatherique Prestine Clean on my car and other cars that I've detailed. Use as directed and let it soak on the leather for a bit and it should clean up your seat.
