I just applied the alcohol with a cue-tip and let the jersey dry on a towel rack. It worked with AMAZING results.

Rather than using body sprays as some have suggested in this forum alcohol works the best. Markers have alcohol in them to keep the ink from drying.The higher the alcohol content, the more the marker comes out.

Thanks for the axe tips but my boyfriend took his home so I had none instead I used what I had as in improvisation. Just proof that you don't need to go and buy expensive Axe or Tag bodyspray's just use any bodyspray's you have available. Thanks for everyone's help!

Report Spam or Abuse Re: Sharpie on HOT PINK LEATHER Post By Michelle (Guest Post) (02/11/2005) Hi all! Good call on the nail polish remover on a cotton swab! I did a test on the inside of the jacket (a very small line with the same sharpie marker) and dipped the swab into the remover. I then dabbed at the line GENTLY. The test line came up with a very faint "residue" left behind, meaing if you know it was there and you look very carefully, you can still see it faintly. Please know, however, that there was a little lifting of the pink dye along with removing the black marker line (as some of the above posters have remarked). Then I went to work on the stain on the FRONT of the jacket, right next to the zipper, over the breastbone. I again dabbed very gently, no rubbing, and it took up most of the ink. Again, use as little of the nail polish remover as possible, beause a little lifting of the dye does occur. You can see that there is a "mark" on the jacket, but a small "mark" is a heck of a lot better than a big BLACK sharpie marker line on THE FRONT of a HOT PINK leather jacket.

Do not use any cleaners or solvents on your leather!!! It'll ruin it by drying out the leather & 'setting' the marker. You need to take it to a professional leather restorer. NO LIE. The ink in the permanent marker is so close to the dye in your leather that they sort of mix together, making it extremely difficult to 'clean off'. Depending on how deeply the marker soaked into the leather, they may have to strip ALL the color out of the leather & then redye it. If you are really lucky, they may not have to go to that extreme, but they will only know by looking at it. They use special chemicals for mixing the color of the dye (which is a bit of an art), as well as for sealing & curing the dye, which is why you can't do this at home. Also, there are different qualities of leather & different dying techniques. If you can, look at the underside of the leather. Does the color go all the way through, or is it white? If the color goes all the way through, it is easier for them to fix. Also, call around. I only had a small spot on one pillow, but was quoted $300 by one place & $75 by another. Turns out the $75 guy was a retiree who still did a few jobs, and who had trained in the $300 guy a few years earlier. Good luck & let me know how it goes.
