Ink in leather seats
Please forgive if this is something that has been covered in another post. I searched but could not find this specific issue.
Despite my constant cautions to not do this, my wife has a habit of leaving "stuff" (books, magazines, papers, flyers) sitting on the back seet of our 05 TL with Camel interior. I keep telling her the leather is delicate and using the back seat as a storage shelf is asking for trouble.
Well, trouble came. She left a program from a concert of local vocalists we attended friday night sitting on the backseat, under a heavy book she left back there. When I discovered it late Saturday (hot 82 degree day) and removed the items from the seat, some of the ink from the program had transfeered to the seat. Water and vigorous scrubbing doesn't get it out, and neither does leather conditioner.
Before I use something harmful, does anyone have any good reccomendations for a cleaner that might remove the ink... any help would be appreciated.

There is some stronger cleaner online that claims to be able to remove dye stains and ink spots from leather, but I never used it.
You need to lay the smack down on her so this doesn't happen again!

Had a friend tell me that hydrogen peroxide takes it out. Have daughter's crayon melted in wife's Explorer. I'll try it tonight and get back to you if it works.
