0 Chris@Adams Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Try isopropyl alcohol, I would first do a test spot to make sure it doesn't hurt your finish. BitterGreg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hairspray. Followed by a good polish. And if that doesn't work, toothpaste. According to my wife. BitterGreg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 HFX Detailing Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 pressure washer usually cleans wood up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ScottyBoy Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Goo Gone, Goof Off, Alchohol, or a towel soaked in hand sanitizer ( the gel, not foaming type). I was able to remove Sharpie from my kitchen cabinets with a towel and hand sanitizer. But my daughter also made Sharpie marks on the white furniture in her bedroom. The only thing that touched that was the Goof Off. But it DID take the gloss off, or at least some of the gloss. So be careful if it has any glossy clear coating or anything on it. IMO, a dull spot looks a lot better than black Sharpie marks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
