Leather and ... ugg ... ink

MattS

Oh no, another engineer!
Any tips for getting ink off of leather? I tried the usual suspects to no avail. Hoping someone has a tried and true secret or product. Not sure how lone the ink has been there, but need to assume "baked" in :(

Already got the car back to customer (they did not pay for a full interior detail) but the ink got me PO'd and I want to take another whack at it for free just so I can not be beat by a litte ink pen!

Thanks for any help and advice!

Matt, I have removed pen ink from leather quite a few times, this ink from a pen that was writing (not an explosion). I have a leather brush (got it from CMA, cheap) I used that with Lexol cleaner with some hard work you can get rid of it.
 
Tried the Brush

Thomasfl,

Thanks for the tip. I did try a leather brush, but I did not use Lexol, I used another leather cleaner. Have you found there to be a significant difference in cleaners? This did not even make a dent in the ink mark.
