hi folks

hmm, i have had ink that has came striaght out, and other inks that refuse to budge.

whatever product you try, you will need an extraction machine to suck the ink outwards instead of pushing it further into the sponge/fabric.

its not worth buying an extraction machine for one ink stain, so might be worth your while having a word with a local cleaner and see if you can get a better answer from there?

maybe he wont charge you if he cant get it out?

 

Aye, I would speak to a local valeting company, as it has the potential to be made worse by DIY attempts.

 

Quick solution to your problem is to JET WASH the seat ( out of the car obviously ) its an old trade trick.The downside is drying the seat,ideally a hot summers day or space heater will do the trick.Dont get heater too close and overheat or SET FIRE to the seat !!!! If you blast locally at the stain that will probably leave you with a patch thats very clean so its best to do stain then whole seat so it all matches.
Another trick is a solution made from a clothes washing tablet in boiling water,use a stiff brush to work into stain then wash soap away with copious amounts of clear water.
Beauty of both of these are theres no chemicals involved and the worst that can happen is trying to dry the seat.
