HELPP!!!! leather got marked with permanent marker
alright so long story short i drank too much at a buddy's party
passed out on his couch and got a sharpie all over me
so now my arm rest(a lot of it) and some of my chair has blue sharpie on it since it rubbed
off of me and onto the leather.....does anyone know how to remove this??
and i've tried leather cleaner and no work....it slightly took it off where its sort of hazy now but still its clearly visible

Permanent Marker contains a (permanent) dye, so you have dyed the leather. Re-colour (dye) would be the only workable solution. If you use a strong cleaner you may remove (damage) the leather finish

You need to redye the leather.

in most instances you can remove permanent marker (such as Sharpie) by running over the same mark with ERASABLE marker (such as Expo2), waiting for the ERASABLE marker to dry, then wiping it off as normal... this works for white boards, table tops, even monitor screens... haven't tried leather yet though... you may want to test it in a hidden area to make sure it wipes off clean... if it does, try it, it can't get much worse =]
please let me know your results, I've successfully used this method to cleanly rid one of my client's laptop screens of permanent sharpie red-ink... I've also removed some sketchdoodle bleed-thru from one of my countertops....
