How do I get marks off my leather?

A "friend" of mine sat in my pristine rear seats the other day and it seems that he had a hole in his jeans' rear pocket. So he left little black marks from his leather wallet everywhere and they don't seem like they want to come off.



I tried lexol and other leather cleaning products that I trust and nothing.

Does anybody have an idea on how to get those marks off?

Thanks

mild APC might work,
leatherique process
warm water wipedown
glass cleaner might work

whatever you try out, make sure to recondition the seats afterward!

Sadly the prognosis on ink stains or colour transfer on leather is not good; as the stain permeates the leather, the dye is transferred and body heat helps to ‘set the dye, For this reason it is not easily released, especially if it has been allowed to set.

Leather Master Super Remover - for removing dye transfer, blue jean, newspaper print and deep stains like mustard on protected leathers. This product works, even when nothing else will. Often on light-colour leathers, it appears that the colour is coming off the leather because you can only see the surface. What has actually happened is a transfer of a lighter colour to the leather's surface.

Finished leather doesn't require conditioning

That Master Super Remover sounds like a winner. I will try it and update results.

Thanks

@togwt: Leather Master Super Remover looks a little like Leatherique Super Prepping Agent. Something in common?
