Removing paint from leather!

For whatever reason, as I finally had some time, I was cleaning my car and noticed 4 specs of white paint on my arm rest and a little line of paint on the drivers seat... probably went to paint something, had to rush out and wound up getting paint on my leather.

Anyway, to make a long story short, I was surfing the net and read a really cool trick: Olive oil removes paint from leather! I took some extra virgin olive oil and put it on a paper towel and rubbed at the leather for awhile, and slowly but surely the paint started to vanish. The olive oil also gives and leather a sheen but after awhile it just goes away. I wiped up the excess oil and then I was done. I was really satisfied with how it came out.

I just wanted to share my success in removing paint... not that it happens to anyone too often, but I thought it's a cool trick to know even if it's not for care care, or a leather sofa or something.
