Marker pen marks on a car can be cleaned using automotive cleaner. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Evenly spray automotive cleaner on the stained area of the car body; 2. Wait for 1 minute, then use a sponge to wipe the stains on the car body surface; 3. After wiping, rinse the car body surface with clean water; 4. After rinsing, use a dry towel to wipe off the moisture on the car body surface. Note: Do not use too much automotive cleaner or let it stay for too long, as it may damage the car's paint.
I remember one time when my beloved car got graffiti from a marker pen, and I was frantic. First of all, don't worry—there are a few simple methods to fix it. I used alcohol wipes (the kind you can buy at a pharmacy) by lightly dabbing alcohol onto a clean cloth and gently rubbing in circles; the ink will gradually dissolve. Remember to be gentle and avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent damaging the car paint. If it's a permanent marker, try non-gel toothpaste: apply it to a soft cloth and massage the stained area slowly, then rinse with water. Another method is to spray WD-40 on a cloth and wipe the stain, but make sure to wash the car soon after to avoid residue damaging the paint. Whichever method you choose, always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t cause discoloration or scratches. For prevention, I recommend checking your surroundings after parking or using a car cover to reduce the chance of accidental graffiti. I’ve tried these methods many times—they're low-cost and effective, usually solving the problem in minutes. If all else fails, you can always visit a professional car wash.
