How to Remove Marker Pen Marks from the Car Body?
2 Answers
Here are the methods to remove marker pen marks from the car body: 1. Use a tissue or cloth dipped in a small amount of alcohol, essential balm, or gasoline: Gently wipe the marked area with the alcohol, essential balm, or gasoline-soaked tissue to effectively remove the marker pen marks. After wiping, use a clean tissue to dry any remaining alcohol, essential balm, or gasoline. 2. Water-based marker pen marks can be removed with a towel dipped in clean water, while oil-based marker pen marks can be dissolved in organic solvents: You can use organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, or toluene to remove the marker pen marks.
Last time I encountered this situation while washing my car, an experienced mechanic taught me an effective way to deal with marker stains on the car paint. Essential balm or medical alcohol works best—just pour some on a soft cloth and gently wipe a few times, then rinse immediately with clean water. If the stain has been there for a long time, you can try spraying some tar remover or specialized car paint cleaner wax. Never use a steel wool pad to scrub hard, as scratching the new car paint would be a huge loss. Dealing with marks on the window glass is even simpler—just mix dish soap with hot water and wipe twice, and it’ll be clean. Remember to wax the car after cleaning to protect the paint, as temporary parking by the roadside makes it easy for the car to get vandalized.
