    i would say if a small patch maybe some methalated spirits but then make sure once off you clean and condition the leather with purpose made cleaner

    Baby oil, eucalyptus oil, WD40, any of these will do it.

    Merde! What ever you do, first do a test on a piece of seat not visible in case you mark the leather or the colouring is affected.

    Have you tried Googling the answer?

    I was told biro was the mortal enemy of leather. One of the kids christened our lounge with some black biro recently. She used a "magic eraser" and got it straight off. This product is a foam pad with some "magic" cleaning solution. We have have also found these remove crayon from suede effect walls...

    Ahhh this is an easy one.

    Get a very sharp knife, lower your strides to about half mast and cut off the dangly bits.



    I'm thinking you may as well get to them with a sharp knife, rather than wait till the missus does with an old blunt rusty knife.

    Have you thought of buying her seat covers as an early Christmas present ?

    ( yes, i know ........ GGF........again)

    There's a book by a woman called Shannon Lush ( yeah I know ) called "Spotless" that we've found quite good for techniques to remove all sort of stain and marks. I'll take a look at it tonight and see what it says, if you can wait that long.
