In the industrial laundry business, one of the products we use is called "Jinx Ink." It (or a similar product) can be found at a local laundromat supply shop. Look in the phone book. It is pretty harsh stuff, designed to get ink out of clothing. So if your seat covers are dyed you'll want to test it in an inconspicuous spot to be sure it won't strip the dye. Also, be sure you rinse off the resuidue when you're done. But the ink WILL come off. Guarnateed. 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee 383 A4 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 440 FC7 (sold)

I haven't tried it myself, but you could give it a shot...again, in a small inconspicuous area first. Photobucket sucks
