How can I get ball-point pen ink out of beige leather car seats? My wife has this frustrating habit of getting small spots of blue ink on her hands and then on the steering wheel or seat. She says the pens at work are awful, and I have given her the same pens I use, (I don't have this problem) but the ink still magically migrates to the leather. I have decided that no amount of anger or demands are worth it or effective in stopping this, I just need to get the ink out of the leather! -- Ed :x ZZ

I don't know if it will work for leather, but it does work on shirt pockets if the stain is small. WARNING! Denatured alcohol is EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE and the fumes are noxious. Use only with the windows open! /_\_ Bob Fishell ihnp4!ihlpg!fish
