Try alcohol. If not nail polish remover. My hubby tried these for oil spots on his and it won't hurt the paint!

If you know whose kids they are, the parents are responsible and liable for the cost of this repair. You might try OOPs or GooGone, but try them in a hidden place irst to be sure they won't remove the finish.

Several of my co-workers with small children say that using a Mr. Clean eraser (found near cleaning supplies) works like a charm.

Thanks everybody. I'll try it when it gets a bit warmer out. We're going through a cold spell here. I have no idea who's kids it was. There are so many on this street theres absolutly no way to narrow it down to who did it.

Mr Clean erasers work magic ! I've no doubt that it'll get the marker off of your car bumper.
My daughter drew w/permanent markers on our walls when she was 2...

Thanks alot....the Mr Clean magic eraser worked wonders on permanent marker on walls....you had to press hard and go in tiny circles when rubbing the stain..wet the sponge jsut slightly...Thanks again...

Try axe body spray.

nail polish remover works really well but for more tough marker u can also use toner or alcohol

i accidently marked wrong on a school project...it was a plastic ball! i tried everything its too late to go to the store and its due tommorrow!!

try using toothpaste, works very well

Try toothpaste definitely! I took someone elses advice on here and tried it on the side of a microwave after id spent 15 minutes trying everything from bleach to vinegar to cooking oil on the stain but toothpaste removed it immediatley!

Just tried to get permanent marker off the silver casing of my tv. Tried the toothpaste suggestion which helped to remove a little but then tried some hairspray and it all came off within about 10 seconds!

I found that going over the permanent marker marks with a dry erase marker, then wiping it off will remove the marks from plastic.

Baking soda works too!

I tried some ae body spray like Sarah says above, work amazingly!

The rubbing alcohol worked!

Toothpaste totally works try it!

I had a permanent marker was on the plastic of a pillow sham. I tired everything on this page but it looked like it was setting more. So I took it to my bathroom with a million napkins and just started trying everything from toner to face cream and EUREKA.

Did anyone really read the words "PERMANENT MARKER" and try any of these things on plastic or rubber, because I tried them all and not a single one of these ideas remove permanent marker from plastic or rubber. Maybe you folks are talking about crayola.

I used hair spray on the silver plastic on my TV. Trouble was, it lightened the color as well. It DID work though.

Things that did not work: alcohol, dry erase marker, floor stripper, goo gone spray gel, bleach, hydrogen peroxide, metal polish, baseboard cleaner, clr, soft scrub, expo dry erase board cleaner, or windex.
