I'm livid. Pen marks on seats.
I sometimes have to give colleagues a lift when visiting clients. Yesterday I noticed some red marks made on the passenger seats. It looks like somebody had a red pen in their trouser pockets which poked out and made 4 separate marks on the seats. I wished the pen would have poked into their f****g a**s instead. That would have tought them where to keep their f****g pens. I think I should give whoever is stepping into my car, a full body search beforehand.
Anyways, I've tried to clean the marks with soapy water, and it made little impact. I've got MBTex by the way. Any suggestions of what product or ways to get rid of those hideous pen marks. And oh, I have beige interior. :mad: |
dare i say tide pen? don't take that to the bank though i suggest you get another opinion...

try meguiars quik out. i don't know if it will take out the pen mark, but it sure as hell works on my carpet and other stains on my interior.

I would also say alcohol (not Jack Daniels :naughty:). Put a Very Small amount on a cotton swab (squeeze it to remove excess). Then wipe with a towel with soap and water (wring it out before using so you don't soak the seat). This is how I removed pen marks from the Leather interior in my week old Avalanche when I first bought it. I could have killed them for it (they were lucky it came out).
Good luck |
Thanks guys. I'll give the alcohol swab treatment a go.

I would try WD 40 if it was my car

hairspray

If it has acetone it could destroy the material or at very least turn it white. NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO!NO! |

In any case, :puke: it'd be easier to just go out to your garage at night when no one's looking and just go at it yourself. |

Stop extracting urine from your cat- its not a good thing:crazy: |
I don't have alcohol to hand - would aftershave do instead??
|
Why not stay on the safe side of things and hit up Walmart or Autozone and pick up some leather cleaner. Yes its MBTex but I use leather cleaner on mine and have so in many of my Benz's for years without any harm done. Don't risk taking the dye out of the material with these other ideas.

.... I am also basing this on my experience with approximately 1" worth of ink mark. If its something crazy like a puddle of exploded ink- I wouldn't know where to start.

Dont mess with your seats buddy, Take your car to a detail shop!!!!
If you put something on your seats and the color runs, you will be sooooo pissed. I used to detail cars and there are plenty of chemicals that may do the trick with out your color bleeding. Or other wise try some red wine.( just kiddin of course ) |

Detail shop
??for what you can do yourself?
Wd40 or Goof Off.A small bit on a clean cloth rubbed in the direction of the pen mark,rub lightly till removed.Bigger stain or smudge a moist mr.clean eraser sponge. ohlord:bow: if in doubt of how easily it removes ink,take a pen put a line of ink under the corner of the seat and in an unseen spot let it dry and use either of the above products. |

Pine Sol...
Dab a little on a washcloth which is damp with hot water... Presto! Amazingly, this always works. |
