Biro on leather disaster.....
Discussion
Mild soap non abrasive, not too wet.
Clean and remove thoroughly, then dry and condition with a leather conditioning product.
Most recommend Gliptone, but there's Leatherique, Einszett, LeatherMaster, and Lexol.
I've just got hold of some Tanner's Preserve Cleaner, and Conditioner to test and report on - so more as and when I get a chance.

Cheers, tried already but hardly made a dent. More drastic action required !Clean and remove thoroughly, then dry and condition with a leather conditioning product.

Google says that ethanol or isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alc) is the best stuff to remove it.
Righto ! Next question, where the feck do I get some from ? Local pharmacy or such like ???Worse case scenario is darling daughter is getting a second hand, heated electric recaro out of our S4 for Christmas and a new one is being purchased from her piggy bank.....5 year olds, why did no one warn me ????
If the seats aren't very pale (grey will be fine, I wouldn't risk it on magnolia, either way you should try a hidden spot) meths should do the job. Shouldn't be too hard to get hold of. Soft cotton pad, ideally a white t-shirt, damp but not saturated. After it comes off, gently wipe across the whole area affected (evens out the tone), then use a leather cleaner and conditioner.
If it still won't come out, valeters have seen this before !

Turtle Wax Leather Cleaner/Conditioner. Worked on red leather Merc seats with an almost whole Bic refill emptied on them. Available from your local Halfords.
Tried and failed......onto the brake cleaner now, heard it from a couple of places.I once bought a three pack of felt-tip pens,one black permanent ink pen,one blue one and there was a pen in the pack for removing the permanent ink,i ended up using this pen to get rid of loads of pen marks/stains,it works great!and being a pen you can direct it to the point and not spread the stain around!I think the pens i got were for writing on cd,s?
