Ink is next to impossible to remove. You can try, Aftalyne. It is a solvent sold at Home Depot....but im not promising you anything

Find another 2k1, and swap seats when nobody's looking

J/K...ummmmm...if the stain won't come out, you could try a junkyard, to see if you can find another seat. Other than that, ink really sucks .

i'll tell you right now...if anything is going to get it out it is going to be OXICLEAN that stuff works awesome! Got a whole gallon of paint that spilled on my carpet in the house out!

Ok there are a couple of possible (see how I said 'possible') solutions.
Before you try any of the methods mentioned, blot up as much of the ink as you can. DO NOT rub in deeper before proceeding.

1. Non-aerosol hair spray. Apply a generous ammount, let it work it's way in, and blot. Repeat several times. Done this on my clothes and worked really well.

2. Oxyclean. Never used the stuff before, but have heard nothing but good things about it.

3. Clorox 2 powder (Color-safe non-chlorine bleach). In a cup. mix 3 tablespoons of Clorox 2, generous pinch of salt (yes, salt), and super hot tap water. Stir together well. Apply to stain and scrub with an old toothbrush. I've used this method on my carpet at home a million times and it works like a dream.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

Yes, that last message is good. Also try a professional furnture cleaner. They should be able to use one of their chemicals and a good wet cleaner to remove the stain without causing more damage. It may cost a little (upwards of $75) but at least it's cheaper than replacing the seat. Also try a professional detailer service. They see this stuff all the time, and it may be cheaper. He should be able to ttell you before doing it whether or not it is possible to remove.

I bought some of that Oxi-clean crap and was surpised...it WORKS My g/f always buys it and I was like why do you buy this TV crap but she recommended it and give it a shot. I think it should work.
