    We've done this before with hairspray - the solvents seem to shift biro marks from leather pretty well. BUT:

    1. Try it on a hidden bit of the leather first - it might damage the surface of the leather, depending on what kind of leather it is.

    2. Better not to spray it all over - we sprayed it onto a cotton bud and then traced along the lines.

    3. The leather did go a bit dull where we used the hairspray. We put a bit of oil on it and it came up fine.

    Other people might have other solutions, but basically you want a solvent of some kind. You can't just scrub it out because you'll just trash the leather.
