Help! - Somebody drew on my 8 with permanent marker!
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??

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 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!

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.

And thankfully, I already got the marker off with the help of the fellow forum members! :D
