Leather touchup

Leather touchup
Seems I had a passenger get in my car the other day and leave a nice black pen mark on the side of the seat of my new TSX. Once I got over beating the living crap out of him, I tried to clean it. I scrubbed like heck and was able to get much of it out, but there's still a dull line where the pen drew and it's bothering me.
Is there a leather touchup "paint" or something that matches the TSX tan leather interior that might hide the rest of the marks? Something I guess that you could rub in and it would revert the color back to what it was underneath?
I also just found out that it's actually not leather on the sides of the seat, but a "simulated" leather, so maybe there's a better cleaner out there than the Lexol leather cleaner I was using?

Yeah, the Lexol vinyl cleaner didn't do anything more than I've already done. I'll have to try the 303 next. Thanks for the recommendation.
I was hoping there was a tan colored "stain" or dye that matched the color of the seats so you could touch up areas that get scratched/chipped/worn. I know I've seen it out there. I'll ask the Acura dealer tomorrow and see what they say.

I know this is a very old post, but I wanted to add my 0.02. MILK is a great way to get ball-point ink off leather. I've used it on my pale green leather sofa at home and it's amazing. I've also read that perfume does it; expensive perfume! Maybe the mix of alcohol and other ingredients.
