Have you tried alcohol, shaving cream or hairspray (not all at the same time, but if one doesn't work, try the next, hairspray as a last resort)?

I'm not sure that any cleaner will get it off the wall. You would need to prime that part of the wall before you repaint as well. The best primer to use would be Bin primer from Zinsser, it comes in spray cans or pint cans since you would just need a little bit.

My kids took a ballpoint pen and wrote on the latex apartment wall. Magic Eraser and Goo Gone didn't get it of. I'd like to know if anyone has a suggestion or if I should just prime and paint the spots?
