Getting pen out of leather?
We have valet parking at work, not because we're special and glamorous, but because we're overcrowded and there's not enough parking. Thus, if I don't get in early enough to park myself, I have to leave the car with the valets, then remember to grab my keys at the end of the day before they're handed over to security. It's not a bonus, trust me.
Anyway, yesterday I get into my car and notice a blue pen line on my nice gray leather door armrest. The valet must have been marking something and then pen slipped. Okay. I was angry for a moment, and then realized that yelling wasn't going to do anything, so I just drove home and hit the leather with some Formula 407 and a paper towel.
The pen mark is certainly lighter, but it's by no means gone. Is there a better way to get pen completely off leather? It's the gray leather, btw.
Thanks.

some leather cleaner/ conditioner will lift it out and keep leather supple
all parts stores carry many brands for not much $
Use it everywhere in the car! --only the leather parts--- to be specific~
Mention it to the parking lot manager- so they valets are careful about whats in their pockets, and what surface they use to write the stall number on the ticket (guessing)

I know this is not recommended, but try a cotton ball and alcohol, and then just apply a leather conditioner.
Do you have any of 303 products? those are great too.
