i don't know what sort of cloth your seats have, but paint thinner would be too harsh, i suppose?

I found that methylated spirits cleans both my cars seats when they have some stubborn dirt and has never harmed the seats.

Just a suggestion.

Question

As a pro. deccy(!?) I can suggest you try cellulose thinners. Try a bit on a hidden area to see if it may damage the cloth, if it's okay then gently soften the paint by dabbing it- don't use a circular motion cos you'll just rub it in more!
Hope you sort it some how
p.s I shall not be held responsible if the above doesn't work or your car explodes when you light a *** in it!!!

Don't know where you'll get it but Amyl Acetate should do the job
