One of my wonderful children has written on the alpaca glovebox in ballpoint pen - any ideas on getting it off?

From the queen of household stain removal, Shannon Lush;

Q.How can I remove blue ink stains from a leather lounge?

A. Wipe it with white spirits, sprinkle with talcum powder. Leave it to dry then brush it off.

or

Ink/ballpoint on linoleum

What to use: Cotton bud, dry cleaning fluid; of milk, old toothbrush; or kerosene, cotton ball

How: Dip a cotton bud in dry cleaning fluid and wipe it over the biro marks. You could also rot some milk in the sun. Scrub the solids into the stain with an old toothbrush, the wash out. If the ink is red, and the flooring is lino, apply kerosene with a cotton ball. Those with vinyl or self levelling plastic will have to live with the red. It's impossible to move!

Don't shoot the messenger......just copied it verbatim!

on a similar note, what leather conditioner do people recommend for the leather? Ive had the car for about 4/5 months now so it probably needs a little something.

VW, in 2.5 years of ownership my last RRS never got any leather care preparation stuff and the TDv8 hasn't had any for the first year. You should be able to screw a bottle of Land Rover leather polish/ feed out of your local dealer - I believe it is made by Maguiers and bottled by them for LR.

BTW my car sits out on the drive in all weathers so the leather get plenty of sun on it. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.
