How to remove Sharpie marks?
What will remove sharpie marks from an aluminum panel?
The tech that racked a pre for me used a sharpie to mark out the faceplate on the parmetal (brushed aluminum) rack faceplate.
I've tried Naptha, Goo Gone, and a Brawny "Eraser" sponge. The Naptha made the marks a bit lighter but that's it.
What will get rid of the marks?!!?
Help!

You need something solvent-based, but that might effect the aluminum finish. You'd probably want to test a little on your buddy's equipment... hee, hee.
I found some stuff called 'Oops' in a little metal can at the hardware store. It is solvent-based, but not too harsh and I use it for stuff like marks on the floor and other woodwork. And yes, I'm pretty sure I've used it on Sharpie before though I can't remember specifically right now. You might give it a try.

Thanks for the responses. I'll give Isopropyl Alcohol a try next and if that doesn't work I'll try 'Oops'.
Naptha is a solvent and the Goo Gone seems solvent based as well but I think it's a matter of getting the right combination.
I'm concerned that because of the brushed aluminum texture of the faceplate that the sharpie won't come off. If the SSL a brushed aluminum or is it polished or painted?

Orange Fantastic is the stuff. I tried the knock off brand and it didn't work as well. Spring for the good stuff! I use it all the time on all kinds of gear. It takes away marker, sticky goo, grease, etc. It's magic!

Simple Green is a cleaning product - it's a fairly non-toxic green liquid soapy stuff that comes in a spray bottle. Good for general household cleaning, but I've never heard of removing Sharpie marks with it before.linus wrote:What is simple green?Kevin S wrote:Simple green
Usually you find it at the hardware store instead of the grocery store.

Superglue accelerant works amazingly well at this... except I don't know where to buy it (I use it at the day-job).
