Discovered a quite nasty stain on the leather bolster of Mrs's Ironsides CX-5 the other day.

Since it was on the leather bolster not suede center, I was thinking, heh lucky me this will be an easy clean....wrong. 

My normal concoction of leather cleaners and conditioners have done nothing to lessen it, seems to be ink or something of the sort. Also tried Lexol leather cleaner and a magic eraser, no dice... (The smeering is not a result of me trying to remove, this is how i found it) 

Short of trying something alcohol based or going ahead and replacing the cover, any ideas or suggestions?

From here it looks more like the color is worn through, rather than a stain.

That's just character.

You probably have already done this but..............do a search on youtube for stain removal on leather. There are no shortage of those vids and I have used them many times.
