Spot cleaning wool coat... HELP!

Good morning MSE'rs!!
Please help, have been away for a few days, when we arrived in Venice, it was much warmer than we expected, so I took off my pink wool coat and draped it over my wheelie suitcase as we walked to the hotel (feeling quite smug on solving a problem!) to discover the collar of my coat had been dragging on the floor!
So now I have a mucky mark along my collar. The collar is actually removable, so while we were there I unbuttoned it and turned it round, but would like to try and get it clean as it has a seam running down the back of the collar when it's turned round (does that make sense?)
We did a quick clean with a facial wipe which got the dust off, so I'm just left with a grey mark on the pink collar.
So, ideas please!!
The coat is 70% wool and 30% polyester with a polyester lining.
Many thanks, Emma x

What does the care label say? Is it washable or dryclean only? You may be able to dab it with drycleaning fluid to get the mark off. (Sorry, I don't know a brand.)
ETA: How was Venice? Did you have a good time?"Be the type of woman that when you get out of bed in the morning, the devil says 'Oh crap. She's up.'
It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it - that’s what gets results!
