TRY SOME SOLVET CALL ACRYSOL, TRY IT ON AN INCONSPICUOUS? PLACE FIRST TO MAKE SURE IT WON'T CHANGE THE COLOR OR THE SEAT

Hey,

Try calling your local professional janitorial supply stores. Or, professional carpet cleaners. My brother owns a carpet cleaning business and has access to chemicals that can remove darn near anything!!

Asking a professional sounds like very good advice!

Im not asking the pros becuase i cant afford pros thats why I do it.

Hey,

I did not suggest that you hire a professional to do it. I suggested that you call one of the supply stores to see what chemical they suggest you use.

Nvrmnd to all if i was a moderator this thread would be closed the hairspray got it out.

Hey,

Glad to hear that you removed the ink.

I think this thread is valuable to others that may end up in the same situation. Did you by chance get pictures? What type of hairspray did you use? Was there discoloration of the material from the hairspray?

no i dont have pictures right now. Its not 100% perfect but much bettter than it was. Ill get pictures tommorow, when its lighter out. There was no color change but the seats fabric is stiff in that spot i dont want to use water on it because im afraid itll come back. And i used tresseme hair spray i started out with sauve but it wasnt strong enough.

Great to hear it is better. You might carefully use a small amount of Heavy Duty Carpet & Interior Cleaner, just lightly damp on a cloth, to get rid of the stiff/sticky residue.

Just an idea...

quite frankly its a repo vehicle from a bank and the floormats are trashed and for an 02 it has alot of rust.
