    Deviant with a marker pen

    Ok...

    So i came down to my car this morning, and found that some deviant had written "xCx" across my bonnet with a black marker!!!

    Naturally I was outraged.

    Any ideas on how to get the marker off without damaging my paint?

    Thanks folks.

        try white sprit or accitone (nail vanish remover) or i have used easystart in the past!!

        always try a bit on an area where you can see first!!

        whatever you do DO NOT USE THINNERS or you will be a very unhappy chappy

            Sorry to hear about your misfortune, you could try surgical spirits that will certainly work, I can't vouch for it being paint friendly though. Whatever you use I'd have warm soapy water to hand to rinse off immediately.

            If you ever catch him, I suggest spray painting his face bright red. That'll teach him.

              I'd try Meguiars paint cleaner, it's a great product. Really works wonders on faded red paintwork, I'm sure it will remove marker pen too.

                I tried some nail polish remover.

                Seems to have done the trick. (Added moisturiser too!!)

                I think i'll go put on some polish just to keep it protected.

                Thanks folks!!

                  Too late to help you, but I was recently shown a neat trick on white boards, which would have worked here.

                  If a numpty uses a permanent market on a white board, simply write over the permanent with the white board marker, then rub off! It really works

                  Cheers n
