Diluted IPA - Expiry date

[daddio]

Long time lurker, first time poster ...



I`ve got black ink on a suede seat panel of an 02 Grand Cherokee. I`m guessing that it came from a cheap Bic-type pen, rather than a fountain pen but the owner can`t say for sure.



Any hope for this one? As its ink on suede I didn`t experiment until I could (hopefully) get some input from you guys...

Interesting dilema. I know hairspray takes ink out of clothing but I can`t say what it will do for suede. Welcome to the boards, by the way.

Welcome to the forum.

Remember what works on leather may not work on suede.

Exactly...which is why I`m hesitant to go the usual hairspray or citrus route until I can get the opinion of someone who has "been there/done that"...



And thanks for the welcomes, much appreciated!

Hey guys, just a thought. Could diluted IPA in time (say 1-2months stored) lose its effectiveness?

Does the alcohol evaporate during storage?


Thank you
