Help! Ink on headlining

Help!
I've managed to get blue ink on Eva's cream headlining.
I am distraught!
What should I do?

An old hanky and nail varnish remover, test an area first to make sure it is safe, under the rubber lip of a door seal. The sooner the better though Thumbs Up

Place hanky over stain and dip a cotton bud in nail varnish remover and press into the stain. Sorry if Nail varnish remover seems sexist, it's usually more readily to hand than rubbing alcohol.

Not sure if these just specialise in leather

Or try stain/ink remover but if it's not dried it I would worry it could spread Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Methylated Spirits - I have found that it will remove black felt tip pen, glue and all sorts - it is a very mild action, non corrosive, non greasy, evaporates completely leaving no after smell.
I personally would not get nail varnish remover anywhere near anything other than finger nails! Tattoos - Why would you choose to look like the wall of a public toilet?

Wd40 is pretty good at removing ink but as said above try on a spot out of site first to avoid problems.

Very small squirt should do the trick.

Nail varnish remover is quite a strong solvent - it is really cellulose thinners. This will dissolve a lot of plastics. Alcohol is safer so meths would be a good choice. GONE - '07 TD4 GS manual Zermatt Silver

Simples, swarfega wipe in the red bucket !
They are fab, you should see how they clean the glass on an oven door as well.

Nail varnish remover would most likely melt car fabric ! Jaguar x-type sport gone

Thanks guys,
I'm too afraid that I'm going to end up with a blue Adrian mole headlining...
I've not done anything...
Will out my brave pants on and "have a go" tomorrow.
