Help! - Somebody drew on my 8 with permanent marker!
2 Attachment(s)
Man, am I ticked! Some a#$hole decided it would be cool to draw on my two month old RX-8 with a black permanent marker. They drew lines down the entire driver's side and on the hood. Anybody have any miracle tips for getting this off?? :mad:
|
Christ! I cannot believe there are individuals that would do that... I feel your anger.
|
I know it works on a dry erase board but have never tried it on a car. If you get some person that rights in the wrong type of marker on a dry erase board all you do is use a regular marker over top of where the permenant marker was written and then use a dry eraser to erase it off.
This may take it off or may make it worse since I have never tried it before. If you do try it I would put it in one little spot just to test it before doing the whole thing. Hope this helps :( |
claybar should take it off, follow the standard claybar procedure
you can also try a wax cleaner type product Goof-Off or similar solvent-based graffitti cleaner last, there is a solvent called MEK, kind of hard to find anywhere but a paint store, you have to wear rubber gloves and have lots of ventilation, bad stuff, don't press down hard, wipe lightly, rewax when you're done using any of the above |
Use "Goof-Off". It will remove it.
3M Adhesive Remover will work, also. Immediately use a polish and then wax on the affected parts after cleaning with these solvents. |
better than a scratch. let us know how well it came off.
|
^^exactly what I thought!! If all else fails mineral spirits will work and will not harm the paint.
|
Yeah, adhesive remover doesn't work on key marks :mad:
|
That sucks..k can't belivee people do that kind of crap..i am so sorry
|
I used paste silver polish and it came right off a dry erase board. FWIW
|
use a red permanent marker and color the black lines to match your car.
hahaha just kidding. Try the "magic eraser," that thing works wonders so I am guessing it may help. |
Happened to have some Goof-Off wipes laying around the house, so I took my first crack at the marker lines using them...worked like a charm! I'm back to a nice shiny velocity red without black marker racing stripes.
Now if I could just get my hands on the idiots who marked it up in the first place...then I'd be REALLY happy! Thanks to all for your concern and suggestions! |
when you do catch them. tie them up and put racing stripes on them like what they did to your car.
|
I know for a fact lighter fluid will take off that marker (it takes of sharpie). I'm not sure if it will damage the paint though. Might be worth a shot to test it first inside the door jam near where the catch is for the door so it's not visible.
|
Another dry erase board trick to remove permanent marker is to wipe with a cloth soaked with stale coffee. Might work on the car also.

I can't see any marker lines in those pictures?

Pinnacle Paintwork Cleanse lotion or a clay bar will do it.
