How to remove ink from cream color line?

We had an unfortunate incident in my 4-day-old Clubman today. My hubby accidentally got a few ink marks on the cream color line part just above the glove box. It's just plain old blue ink.

Any ideas on how to get this out???

Bummer. I have cream color line as well, and prior to purchase, I was concerned about keeping it clean. So far, my dash and doors are still okay (2000 miles), knock on wood.

What I would try and do is go with the mildest cleaner, then work your way up if prior product doesn't work. I've used Woolite (1 part woolite to 6 parts water) in a spray bottle for interior cleaning. Spray on to a microfibre and gently scrub the ink away. Woolite is very safe for all interior surfaces. If that doesn't work, I might try a little rubbing alcohol on a microfibre. Don't go too crazy with the cleaners, as you could discolor the vinyl surface, which may end up looking worse than a little ink.

Good luck.
Tony

have you tried using Magic Eraser? I don't know if it will work for you but it's worked for me in a lot of otherwise impossible to remove stain situations.

I think I might try the rubbing alcohol. Wondering if Goo Gone (the one for ink) might work?

I'd be really nervous to try the Magic Eraser on that surface. I've tried it on the walls in my house, but not willing to risk it in my new baby.

Thanks for the input...I'll post if I find something that works.
