Angry HELP - Paint on my seat

I'm hoping someone can help with this!

Yesterday I was at a construction site and somehow my coat must of rubbed against wet paint or something of that nature. Of course I didn't know until after I sat in the car. Now I have this white stuff on my seat and have NO CLUE what to use to try and get it out.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't want to ruin the leather but I don't want to just leave it.

Can anyone please shed some light on this for me.
Thanks

Claud

For the ink some isopropyl or denatured alcohol or hairspray (Aquanet etc. ) should work. Lysol does too, but try it in an inconspicuous area first.

Don't use any solvents such as Goof Off etc. as most leather has a clear protective coating on it that might dissolve with such a solvent. ( probably would).

For the latex paint, ; Warm soapy water (Murphy's Oil Soap is safe) and that should do it. If not, try some baby oil. Just don't use a stiff brush if you brush it. Better to let the above solutions soak, then rub lightly with a cotton cloth. Use a leather conditioner afterwards. Good luck.

Default Try the above first...

If they don't work, then check out :

I found some at a local boot shop. Works well on rubber type scuff marks.
