Help Needed !

[baby_lexus]

Need some advice please.

My friends Scooby got attacked by a crazy yoof last night.....with a permanant marker pen.

Not sure why he decided to scribble all over a silver car in black marker but he did. Perhaps it was the Citroen advert that inspired him to act ?

Anyway, does anybody know of a way to remove the pen marks ? Without damaging the paint work.

Many thanks.

I dont know if a paint cleaner like the Meguires stage one would rip that off - you can buy that from some Halfords now so might be an idea?

Otherwise maybe try a bit of T Cut on a small area, something abrasive maybe?

Try a clay bar.

isopropyl alcohol wont damage the paint

[Chris.S]

3M Finesse finishing polish will clear that straight off

Pity you did`nt catch the ****** , get his/her pen and draw all over his/her face ...... now thats gonna hurt to get off !!!!

Dare I suggest a little bit of petrol on a soft cloth (also removes dead bugs with ease)

Make sure he polishes it afterwards though.

Bolster and club hammer will do the trick

but as Rob says, isoproply alcohol is better

I have a passed on all of your kind words. The club hammer one as well.

some tar and glue remover would probably do the job but a good polish afterwards would be advised

panel wipe might do it, go to your local bodyshop and ask them to try some on there, wont damage your paint at all and should remove it.

if not try a t-cut type polish, or even a 2000+ grit wet and dry with a bit of meguires quick detailer as lube?

the best way to remove permanent marker is use hair laquer/spray, you will be amazed at how quickly it removes it, spray onto cloth, one or two wipes and the marker will be gone. it's so impressive, it's worth writing on something just to see how quickly it comes off......i must get out more
