You can use a heavily diluted mix of water and Simple Green, then after it dries go over with leather conditioner.

I assume you have light interior (blue pen is noticable). and is not suede..if so you can use a q-tip w/ a dab of nail polish remover diluted w/ h2o . If you do this, do NOT rub hard or OVER work area and Do follow up w/ a clean dry cloth to lift stain. Overworking can discolor interior. GL w/ that, i'm sure there are other ways to remove ink but this is what i do on my white/tan sneakers.

I got the gum out pretty well using scotch tape. It worked like a charm. just took a little time. im gonna try the heavy diluted simple green to clean the seats well. Im gonna clean all of them at once and then spray that mcguires conditioner since i have some laying around.
