A few days ago my niece got ahold of a permanent marker and marked all over the back cloth seats, what can I get it out with?

PET ether is a good solvent for blotting, anything though that can dissolve sharpie ink for blotting is bound to bleach out the fabric though. ..... It'* a Ford, just use some black powder poured into some 1' pipe and.............

Rubbing alcohol will work (you'll get most of it). Mix it 50% with water so that it doesn't evaporate as quickly, so it has time to do it'* job. Blot, don't wipe.

When you buy isopropyl alcohol in the drug store, they sell it in two strengths, 70% and 97%. The 97% is supposed to be for sterilizing needles for insulin needles & such. Get that one. Keep doing the blotting / soaking / blotting over and over again.
The 70% usually also contains glycerin as a skin softener, which doesn't help it as a solvent at all. Get the 97%. You just have to look for it, sometimes it'* on a different shelf.
And don't get the green one, either. (Duh.)
