    Unhappy Just got my R8 Finally! Question about the leather?

    I finally received my R8 after waiting about 2 years. Jet blue 6speed with grey limestone seats. I found what looks like a pen mark on the passenger seat. Any suggestions to get it out with this type of leather? Thanks

    Re: Just got my R8 Finally! Question about the leather?

    Someone on a BMW forum suggested this...I have no idea if it actually works:http://www.topoftheline.com/leather-ink-remover.html
    I do know hairspray takes ink out of fabric...but I'd be afraid to use it on leather.

    Thanks shelbygirl, someone else brought it to my attention that it might be a mark from new jeans (my wife did just sit in the passenger seat right before I noticed the mark and she was wearing jeans!) Anyother suggestions out there???

    My wife was a little upset at first thinking she just messed up my new R8 ! But like a good husband I lied and said she has nothing to do with the mark. Anyways, FYI shelbygirl I am placing my new LSU alumni Texas plates on the R8 today!!!!

    You might Google leather ink removal and see what come up.
    Spent some time living in Baton Rouge and many a Sat. nite in Tiger Stadium (what else is there to do on a Sat. nite?)
    We're on the outskirts of Houston now.

    yea, unless your 21 and a student at LSU, not much to do in Baton Rouge. We moved to Dallas about a year ago from Naples, Florida, so hopefully we can make a game this year. (Living in Naples made it tuff to get in for a game, but the weather is so beautiful down there)
