Went to Ruth’s Chris for dinner a week ago and valet parked the car (couldn’t find a parking space), the kid parked my car left pen marks (blue ink) on my center console (just found out today, didn’t drive the car all week).

I couldn’t remove the marking; does anybody know how to get rid of the pen marks aside from replacing the center console?

Is it too late to call Ruth’s Chris on this? TIA

 

Maybe try Simple Green? And I don't think it's too late to call Ruth's. Do it. What's the worst that can happen...and show them the pick. Good luck!

 

shoot the kid.

 

I can't imagine the pen mark wouldnt come off with some rubbing and maybe some water.

Or better yet, maybe trying rubbing it with a towel and use 303 protectant as the lube...

 

write all over the kid

 

Thanks all, I tried soap and water but didn't work. I did contacted Ruth's Chris and working on getting this resolved with them. I will keep everyone posted.

Thanks again.

Should of known better leaving the car with valet....but they did park it in front of the restaurant.

 

Vinylex should take it out.

 

Also try diluted rubbing alcohol. You need to find a solvent for the ink...do not just try to rub it out mechanically or you will ruin the frosted finish. Try searching autopia.net or detailcity.net for other ideas.

 

did you try using Goo Gone?

 

i don't think he is trying to get rid of goo



i forget who makes it, but you can get it in the cleaning section in the supermarket. it's a foam sponge that takes marks away. it might work. it's very mild so it probably couldn't hurt anything.

 

mr clean's magic eraser? duputy, is that what you are referring to?

 

It's not just for goo. Goo Gone can be used to remove lots of marks/stains.

That does work....but it may mar the plastic...goo gone is also an excelent product!

 

paint thinner

 

have Ruth pay Eric to paint the center console matching exterior color. or get enough beef from them.
