Help!

Hello folks,



I'm gonna need your expertise on this one.

Just last week I went on a vacation so I left my car at my parents' house for a week. I parked at a visitor spot. When I came home, I found someone drew long and random lines on my car with either permanent marker or dry erase marker. What can I use to get those marks off without hurting the paint? Should I just take it to a pro detailer?





Mucho thanks in advance.

Rubbing alcohol should take it off fine in my experience. If you are scared using it straight, dilute it

Just was and do an IPA wipe down of the whole car then reapply your LSP. Should take care of it.

Sorry but would you mind explaining what IPA and LSP mean?

Autopia.org - FAQ



IPA = Isopropyl alcohol

LSP= Last step product

I bought a bottle of 50% isopropyl, poured it on a microfiber towel and used the towel to clean my car. marker marks came right off.



Thank you VERY much for the suggestion.

Lol, glad it worked out for you. Should've listened to me first since my method was least confusing :lol



Be careful where you park now
