How do you get ink off suede dash?...
I had a lousy day today, one of my friend's daughters sat in my svx today, and to make a long story short, I have two "blue ink" pen marks that "magically" appeared on my tan suede dash. (Passenger side..) I haven't tried cleaning it yet, I'd like to investigate this matter further before I make a mistake trying to clean it and only making it worse. How would you attempt to clean it? Has this happened to anyone else here? I should say I'm not mad at her, she doesn't know better, but unforetunatly, my svx is not a writing pad.....

Hi,
I know this isn't a very good answer to your question, but I once asked our dealer to remove some dirty engine oil their mechanic had smeared on the roof lining . The stuff they used smelt like dry cleaning fluid. It may be worth popping in to your local dry cleaner for some advice. Phil. |

Dry cleaners can whoop any stain's ass!
And hey, why not try some club soda? I'm told it does wonders. |

This is kind of funny.
One day my wife was sitting in the passenger seat, jotting down some notes. I was eyeing the pen in her hand as the tip was pointing outward. She was taking a break from writting. Then she moved her body to get something and the pen tip touches the suede. I was in shock. As she continued to move a line formed in the suede right above the glove compartment. She was in horror. I was in shock. The line was about 1" inch long, blue ink. My mind went wild. Oh that won't be so obvious. Yeah right. It's only staring you right in the face from the passenger seat. So much for taken care of this CAR. I guess I'll have to live with that. This car looked really good inside until now. Resolve carpet cleaner. Then before I say anything she used that age old cleaning fluid that only a mother possesses. Used to clean the dirt off of many a child's face. She put spit on her finger, rubbed it into the ink and the ink went away. Happily and amazed we continued on down the road. Oh what the poop it's ONLY a car. |

Blotting or placing a towel or cloth over the dash and not moving it while depressing with a credit card will prevent pilling. |

I'm kinda curious if anyone has ever tried Oxyclean on the faux suede before? I've been thinking of trying it on the driver side armrest. Dirt and skin oils seem to like that location above all else on the car.
