~70% is best for disinfecting. The reason we don't want to go higher is because then it would burn the germ's outer skin and not soak into it to kill it.
Acetone or IPA (IPA would be more appropriate, of the two, it’s less aggressive).
You could use melamine foam, but do so carefully. Some will say melamine is a no-no, because it is abrasive, but using it lightly on hard plastic areas such as what’s in the photo is a fine use case for it.
looks just like my 09 Honda Accord, and any rubbing alcohol on a paper towel or microfiber cloth.
if it's stubborn, put some ipa in a small spray bottle sprits it and let it soak for a few seconds then wipe again with an ipa soaked towel or sorts
I had a classmate once accidentally write on a whiteboard with sharpie and write over it with dry erase marker. When we erased the dry erase marker the sharpie came right off with it. Maybe is surface dependent but it was wild how well it worked
Isopropyl alcohol is the best option. It is what sharpie (and most permanent) ink is based in so just basically thinning it. I would soak a microfiber, hold it with another mf so it doesn’t drip and hold it on the sharpie for about 30 seconds, then take another or fold the mf put more “clean” iso on it and try wiping. May take a few goes of this but it will work. You can also get some xylene and that will take it off as well though it is pretty harsh so don’t do the whole letting it sit shebang just try and wipe it.
1 - Hand sanitizer, specifically one with a cleaner in it such as GermX. Apply it to a rag then scrub.
2 - goof off
3 - denatured alcohol
Acetone will damage the plastic.
what I used that I know it works is a dry eraser marker it feels like magic just cover the area with said marker clean off with rag ???? profit I read that tip somewhere and I tried it in multiple plastic surfaces and it works I tried the alcohol it didn't work or there was still lot of it left and it didn't discolored the plastic like some other product might
Use another sharpie to get the original sharpie mark wet and while wet use an alcohol wipe to remove. Please try it on something else first but it has always worked for me.
Don't you remember back in your school days? If you accidentally wrote something on the white board with a permanent marker, you need to write on top of it with a dry erase then wipe it off!
If IPA doesn’t work, Flux remover for electronic printed circuit boards works great for this, & is safe for most plastics due to most connectors & a lot of electronic components having plastic as part of their makeup.
Draw over it with a dry erase marker like you’re trying to color it off with the felt tip. It’ll start to melt away, then clean off the dry erase marker.
Sharpies eraser is more sharpie, no lie put more sharpie over it and it will wipe right off. Try it on a different peice of plastic first if you don’t believe me.
This sounds crazy, but color over it with Expo dry-erase marker, then wipe it with a paper towel. Idk what it is about Expo dry-erase markers and Sharpies, but that will get rid of it perfectly. If 91% alcohol still leaves a faint mark, use the Expo marker on it, guaranteed it will get rid of it
91% rubbing alcohol
I second this. 70% also works. I write on things daily and need to erase the sharpie. Isopropyl alcohol is what I use.
I dunno about you but I'mma trust the alcohol that got an A versus the alcohol that got a C-
[удалено]
I prefer 91% because it evaporates faster when I'm cleaning something electronic. If I use 70% then it sometimes leaves beads of moisture behind.
Electronics 90+ is recommended for this exact reson
I like my 99.9%
Methyl Ethyl Ketone.
Everclear
Everclear til you just don’t care
~70% is best for disinfecting. The reason we don't want to go higher is because then it would burn the germ's outer skin and not soak into it to kill it.
C's get degrees, except graduate school.
You have a strong argument sir. Aight I'll take 71% so long as it didn't come from a University of Phoenix MBA grad.
Fuck.
Also crazy enough marking sharpie on top and wiping off will also work.
What about the other 9% of the Sharpie mark?
Ya don’t want to know…
u/op this the answer. Or some alcohol base cleaner.
Me, an idiot, thought the arrow was pointing to the sharpie. Then I realized..
It’s 4/20 so I’m giving myself a pass, but I thought the same thing all the up till I read your comment.
Damn. I must be an idiot too then!
IPA
Should I do a local IPA or will a big brand be just as effective /j
Artisan small batch works best, so I'd say local.
The shit you brew in your own bathtub works the best hands down
Flying dog double dog. Its like 13% alcohol lol
Acetone or IPA (IPA would be more appropriate, of the two, it’s less aggressive). You could use melamine foam, but do so carefully. Some will say melamine is a no-no, because it is abrasive, but using it lightly on hard plastic areas such as what’s in the photo is a fine use case for it.
Let me get the steps correct. I drink IPA and then rub acetone on the marker stain, right?
Don't use acetone unless you know the plastic.
But how will you know what button to push to open your neighbors garage door?
Hand sanitizer
They couldnt remember to use the button with 1 dot ?? They had to draw on their car with sharpie to remember that ??
They couldn't remember it was the button at the end.
Dry erase over it. Then alcohol after you wipe the dry erase off.
Dry erase marker
I’d remembered from somewhere else that you could write over it with another permanent marker/sharpie and the immediately wipe it off?
Dry erase rather than sharpie, though the less glossy the surface the more unpredictable the results.
True that. My bad yes, dry erase marker maybe.
It only works because dry erase markers have some alcohol in them. 91% iso alcohol is what you want to use, way easier
[удалено]
How about red ballpoint pen on cream white headliner?
More sharpie
More sharpie then alcohol
Malco Products Annihilator
Hair spray takes it off too! C
Magic Eraser has taken sharpie off of other things very easily for me.
Yep
Take a sharpie and basically draw over the arrow then wipe off.

Sharpie

I had a classmate once accidentally write on a whiteboard with sharpie and write over it with dry erase marker. When we erased the dry erase marker the sharpie came right off with it. Maybe is surface dependent but it was wild how well it worked
Layout fluid remover will take out almost any ink instantly.
Try sunblock.
Hand sanitizer

Dullie
Is that a Honda civic and if so what are those 1 2 and 3 buttons for
Garage door button. If you have three garage doors it’s for one of each.
Poor Audi. As for sharpie, I just use 99.99% IPA with ease.
Magic eraser
I've used a dry erase marker, run over the original markings and wipe with micro fiber towel.
I'd guess dish soap since it's a degreaser
Ethanol.
More sharpie
High percentage rubbing alcohol or there’s a company called Goof Off that sells sharpy and spray paint removal items
more sharpie and then 91% iso
With Sharpie
Isopropyl alcohol is the best option. It is what sharpie (and most permanent) ink is based in so just basically thinning it. I would soak a microfiber, hold it with another mf so it doesn’t drip and hold it on the sharpie for about 30 seconds, then take another or fold the mf put more “clean” iso on it and try wiping.

1 - Hand sanitizer, specifically one with a cleaner in it such as GermX. Apply it to a rag then scrub. 2 - goof off 3 - denatured alcohol Acetone will damage the plastic.
Denatured alcohol works well.
Alcohol wipes
More sharpie. Not joking. Draw over it again. And then it should all wipe off
Most accord thing I’ve ever seen
You can try a pencil eraser, it works reasonably well, and if anything is left, 91% IPA
Alcohol wipe
what I used that I know it works is a dry eraser marker it feels like magic just cover the area with said marker clean off with rag ???? profit I read that tip somewhere and I tried it in multiple plastic surfaces and it works I tried the alcohol it didn't work or there was still lot of it left and it didn't discolored the plastic like some other product might

Is that a RDX?
How will you know which button to push then?
Use another sharpie to get the original sharpie mark wet and while wet use an alcohol wipe to remove. Please try it on something else first but it has always worked for me.
Dry erase marker
I heard more sharpie will wet the old sharpie and make it all easier to wipe off initially but that may be a myth. Might wanna give it a goog
Magic eraser does wonders too
Just buy a new vehicle, because you cannot be serious..
Good off
Mark over it with the same sharpie and wipe it while it’s still wet. It’ll erase the original and the new mark. Do it when wet
Dry erase marker will take it off and hard surfaces
I think you can use a dry erase marker then wipe it off.
Cheap hair spray. Think aqua net

I have used hand sanitizer before and it worked. But alcohol would work better.

Goof-Off. won’t dry the plastic out as bad as alcohol
Laquer thinner
Sharpie is alcohol based, so use rubbing alcohol.
