Help! How do I get black permanent marker out of tan leather?

[Rick Moroso]

Please help me!

I have a small black permanent magic marker mark on my custom tan leather seat. Does anybody know how to get it out?

Thanks!

Rick, Whatever you try, try it out on an unconspicuous area of the seat first,or...on another piece of leather. You dont want to make the matter worse. The first thing that comes to mind is 'GoofOff' but id dilute it first .

Let us know how you get the mark off.

I would suggest goo gone(same as goof off)Its solvent based so try it on a spot down low to see if it removes any of the dye from the leather.When you wipe the ink off dont keep it wet with the goo gone long.Make a couple swipes and let it dry.Make a couple more swipes and let it dry until it is gone.Good luck
