permanent marker on a headliner

[Beemerboy]

Customer has a light great headliner with some black permanet maker on it. I wil be looking at this one tonight. Was thinking of APC with a white cotton towel or maybe some rubbing achcol.

What are your ideas on this one? I`m also thinking that its going to have to be recolored

Hey Beem....

Never tried APC on a permanent marker stain but it seems to work on many other ink based stains.

Good Luck...

Me to I`ev removed old ink pen this way but ink unlike makers seems more lilke it would die the material. Wish at times that I have an old junker that I could use for these reasons

[rollman]

maybe goof gone or goof off might get it out . Try using a q-tip for pin point cleaning of the area with the marker. Test a corner to make sure it doesn`t change to color. Perhaps it my lighten the black enough to blend in , wishful thinkin huh :lmfao Good luck

Go Gone is oil based and that would stain the headlines is my guess. On hard plastic I could see using that

Use some real cheap Hair Spray on a very low plush cut MF towel with just your finger pointed on the other side to minimize area. Watch for streaking if it starts to streak and bring it out it`s working. Use warm water and a plusher MF towel or cotton towel in between t otake off excess Hair Spray. You may need to repeat this like 7 to 10 times to minimize stain completely.

that`s what i would try, but usually with ink not permanent marker ... it`s worth a try but I`m thinking they put the word permanent on the marker for a reason :notme:

I posted this back in 2004....thanks for the help...best thing I can`t even recall what I did now:rofl

Wow, holy random resurrection. I`ve used Brakleen successfully on many seemingly impossible stains. Not sure if it would work for this though...even though this advice is almost 5 years too late. :inspector:

I have tried hair spray quite a few times on different stains, usually ink or marker, and have yet to have it do a thing with any of them on any surface.
