PERMANENT MARKER QUESTION

[TCB2010]

WHAT DO YOU USE TO TAKE PERMANENT MARKER OFF THE BASE OF A REDLINE WITHOUT RUINING THE CAR OR PAINT?
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
THANKS

toothpaste gently maybe ?

or a clean white rag with some thinners on it (not saturated just damp ) maybe

What would hairspray or WD40 do to the paint? I've used both to get permanent marker off things...

thanks guys, someone also said goof off, any more input out there.
im just trying to gather ideas as i dont want to ruin the car, its not dead mint but its not a beater. it would just be hard for me to ruin it...

Do you have any Goo Gone? That's just glorified orange peel oil... that wouldn't hurt anything and wipes off easy.

It does take off the top marker, but the shadow can remain.

Be aware that you are fine with metal and spectraflame surfaces, but it will start taking off any enamel paint surface.

Waterless hand cleaner (non-abrasive type/no scrubbing particles) has worked for me.
