Need help in Los Angeles with damaged leather
MY girlfriend's car got blue ballpoint pen stains from a valet that had a leak in his pants. It's too late to hold the guy accountable so we tried to get it off using the suggestions on this board. Mineral spirits didn't do anything and the magic eraser didn't do much either. Then we tried the isopropyl alcohol with magic eraser and it rubbed off the top layer of the leather insert turning it into a grey gummy mess. Help, anybody know a place in Los Angeles that would be a good place to get htis fixed?
Thanks a bunch,
Calboy

IPA and a Magic Eraserare an abrasive combination that has compromised the leather sealant.
I would suggest a Leatherique dye (http://www.leatherique.net) or if your not comfortable doing it find a detailer that will re-dye the leather for you
