How do I clean this off?

I'm helping out, setting up a local music festival, I had converse beaters that I was using (leather also but couldn't care less about those ones) but they pretty much fell apart yesterday in the heatwave. I didn't want to use these today because the field was just freshly cut and it was stupidly hot so the chlorophyll transfer would be quite bad. Alas, I was told that no matter what I had to wear boots of some kind and these were the ones I had...

Low and behold, in almost cartoonish fashion, the heat made a can of white, semi-permanent marking spray explode in the back of my open car boot and fire out, straight into my chest as i was having a converstion with the guy who runs the festival, covering my work clothes and part of my favourite boots in white marking spray as it was going ballistic on the ground.

Top and bottom, i got as much of it off as possible with a leather brush but there's still some marking spray residue in the nap and chlorophyll pigment all around the boots as shown above.

I would love some advice on how to clean by boots, chlorophyll stains i assume are common but the marking spray is pretty much exactly the same as nail varnish but a spray instead

I want to buy a Giulietta Veloce (1.4 turbo multiair - 170hp) pre-facelift as a first car, because I want something punchy enough to be fun when I want it to be but not inconvenient in everyday life. The cars are cheap enough to buy and insure so honestly it just seems ideal (cheaper to insure than any VW, Honda, Peugeot, Vauxhall/Opel - including my grandad's bog standard Zafira by about a grand somehow)

I am able to do lots of maintenance and replacements myself and I honestly will likely end up doing some mods to it too but it'll definitely be more of an "OEM+" approach. I've been told it's a good platform for that and if looked after properly it'll last me a good while

I would just like some people to tell me why I should... and maybe why I shouldn't.
