I just got my 2004 Accord EX-V6 yesterday, and am loving it. It is for the most part flawless, except for a couple of small pen marks on the leather. I bought some Blue something-or-other brand leather cleaner that the Advance Auto guy recommended, and it worked well for general cleaning and conditioning but it didn't quite take out the pen. Is there any hope? If not, it won't be the end of the world; you can hardly see it. But if there's an easy way I'd like to give it a shot. Thanks!

Spray hairspray on the mark and rub it with a rag.

Get a canister of Armor All Cleaner wipes and a canister of Armor All Leather Wipes

take the cleaner wipes to the pen marks are rub with some force, will take multiple passes with pressure...after the pen marks have been removed, go over the leather with armor all leather wipes to condition/soften the leather to its original quality

i wrote a review for them here: http://forums.gen7accord.net/viewtopic.php?t=6536&sid=21fdb2d04817e8f5b04b90f2ad7cceb8


i was really impressed with how well the cleaner worked...my moms car (a toyota) hadn't been washed in over 2 years and leather hadn't been conditioned ever in the life of the car (5 years)....the cleaner was able lighten the shade of hte leather back to the original color and then went over it with the leather wipes and made it nice and soft/smooth like it originally was

afta works great

Mr. Clean magic eraser (wet). No chemicals needed.

A little Clorox on a rag sometimes works. Don't use it on cloth, of course

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions. I'll run to the store tomorrow and see if I can find any of these items, and give it a shot.

Got some Mr. Clean Magic Erasers...WOW! Those things remove scuffs and dirt spots and pen marks with almost no effort. All the scrubbing in the world with the leather cleaner yesterday couldn't remove those pen marks.
