Last time my car got marked with a permanent marker, I fixed it quickly using alcohol. The method is quite simple: first, test a small inconspicuous area to see how the paint reacts—don’t start wiping right away. Then, dip a cotton ball or soft cloth in medical alcohol or essential balm and gently rub the marks in a circular motion. Avoid pressing too hard to prevent scratching the paint. If it doesn’t come off immediately, repeat the process or wait a minute or two to let the solvent penetrate. After cleaning, wipe off any residue with a damp cloth and apply car wax to restore the paint’s shine. This method saves time and money, using everyday household items. Also, note that if the paint is newly applied or waxed, and the marks are stubborn, avoid forcing it—switch to a dedicated ink remover for safety. The key is not to delay, as the ink can seep in over time and become harder to remove. To prevent this, try not to park near areas prone to graffiti.
