I had a similar problem. Surgical spirit on a cotton bud did it, then lots of leather cream.

I had the same thing happen. I used saddle soap available from horesy places. Worked a treat (and cheap).

They also make wipes impergnated with the stuff, that come in a little pot, like a baby wipe container. These aren't very good for cleaning heavy marks, but are handy to keep in the car for little accidents

Ordinary baby wipes will do the job.

Hi, here's another 'solution'.

Get a bowl of luke warm water. Now raid your wife or girlfriends make-up area and steal the hairspray. Spray hairspray on the ballpoint ink and watch as it disolves it ...... now clean up with the warm water. Rubbing alchohol should also do the trick.

Another very useful chemical is TFR or traffic film remover.
This stuff is THE dogs hairy dangly wossnames for removal of almost any contamination on anything.
Heck, itll even remove nicotine stains from the headlining of a car without any problem.
Use it either neat(caution required) or diluted about 50/50 with water and watch those stains just disappear.
Best not to get it into cuts tho cos it stings like the devil.
