Hope I can help you as you helped me.
A little booklet issued by Which? recommends dabbing with a cotton bud soaked with methylated spirit. Suggest you try first on a hidden part as it sounds as drastic as white spirit.
One other that a friend of mine has used on a leather sofa can be found athttp://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/LeatherInkRemover.htm
This did remove ink from a fountain pen for him but the suppliers do say it removes felt tip ink.
Good luck.

I have used a really good Orange based cleaner before and it has removed the ink.

RE: leather seats
 

Well what did you use?

RE: leather seats
 

meths and cotton buds and then leather wipes [pre treated cloths for cleaning leather] oh as im here been ofered a s70 rear spoiler but will it fit my 850 saloon[what you call a sedan in the us i think]

RE: leather seats
 

It should Fit no problem. They were pretty much the Same body style.

I don't know if it would fit or not. The S70 is definitely a little more rounded than the 850 and the trunk is an area that is different. You can probably make it work, but I doubt if it's the same part number from the dealer. I know my son had a problem putting a spoiler on his BMW that was from a different year car. Looked the same, but it was just a tad too wide.
