Unhappy Writing on headrests

Hey guys! So I noticed almost 2 weeks ago at the car show that there is some sort of market writing on my headrests. You can only see it in the sunlight or on a camera flash. I tried rubbing really hard with leather conditioner stuff but it didn't come off all the way =( I'm going to try to "scrub" it with Meguiar's leather cleaner in their new line of stuff. If that doesn't help does anyone else have any suggestions??? Here is a pic of it
it says TK 12-3 (or 5)-03

No idea on how to remove that. On the bright side, consider it original markings from the factory. Its restored.

Idk either, I don't wanna use anything too harsh bcuz of the leather. Well it would almost have to be original markings if "03" is representing a year but why would they mark that one and no others?!?!

We had a couple kids go through my fathers neighborhood with markers, going into unlocked cars and drawing on the interiors... yeah, I know, seriously? Get a life (and they were taking electronic stuff, too). But they got my fathers tan leather seats, his carpets and his dash with a black marker and he tried one of those Mr. Clean Magic Eraser things and it worked well.

I've also been told CUTICLE remover (NOT nail polish remover) will work, too. Of course, always try it on the bottom where it meets the top of the seat first. I've never tried this one so I don't know how well lit really works.

I just did it but I can't really tell if it got it off and I don't wanna screw up the leather so I'm just gonna leave it for now and check to see if it got rid of it tomorrow
