Paint on old Brooks saddle
I recently purchased a '73 Motobecane Grand Record.
It came with the original Brooks saddle in pretty dang good shape for it's age. The one flaw is that the previous owner leaned the bike up against a painted pole in their garage and there's now white paint scuffs on the side of the saddle.
Any ideas how to take the paint off without hurting the saddle?

Just chill ..
Just ride it, use (say in Levis) that smudge will rub it off over time ..
they used to only make 1 color, now, some , like green, are surface only,
that wears off.. over time..
