OMG! INK Explosion =( Interior sharpie marker stain
So I did a good thing and drove the office gang to lunch today. Well, long story short -- one of them had a sharpie that LEAKED in their pocket.. !!!!!!
I didn't even realize it until later since it was in the back. (I didn't put two and two together when he was complaining about his imported pants. WELL WHAT ABOUT MY CAR!!!)..
There's now permanent marker on my car (on the side handle -- not the leather)..
It's already dry.. What do you guys think the best way to get it off is?
Is it even possible.
=(
*crying*.

Actually all most posts have been from this year. =P..
I'm a long time reader.
I'll definitely try goof off. Have you had any experience with it?
My mom told me to try hairspray and rubbing alcohol but I didn't know if that would do anything bad.

most organic solvents will take it off... methanol, ethanol, isopropanol.. I would try the isoprop first since it is the least polar and won't damage the side handle.. (70% isopropanol= witch hazel at the local drug store)

That sucks!
Alcohol will more than likely discolor any plastics or leather, I wouldn't even try it. The hairspray isn't a bad idea actually. Example: Take an old pair of leather shoes (like dirty white sneakers), spray the hell out of them with hairspray, let them soak for a minute, then throw them in the washing machine. I promise you they will come out of the washer looking whiter than you'll ever remember them being. I have done that so many times to old shoes. Hairspray kicks ass for stuff like that. You might also try getting a spray bottle of Oxy Clean. Oxy Clean is the shit too. I swear by it. Good luck!

How do I remove a permanent marker stain?
The successful stain removal of ink stains differs from case to case because of the many types of fabrics, colors, inks and time elapsed before stain removal. We cannot guarantee stain removal since many variables can be involved. Testing first is always recommended as well as following both the stain remover and clothing manufacturer's instructions. Following these steps should result in partial or complete removal.
General Rules:
1) Treat stains as soon as possible. Fresh stains can be removed more easily than old ones.
2) Check manufacturer's labels as to fabric content and any special instructions
3) Always test stain removal solution first on a hidden part of the article or on swatch of fabric taken from seam allowance to insure no color loss or damage will occur.
4) Where possible, lay stained article face down on paper towels or clean white cloth and apply stain removal solution to underside of stain so that stain can be removed from the surface instead of pushing it through the fabric. Replace towels or cloth as they absorb stain to prevent stain transfer.
5) If enlisting the aid of a professional laundry or dry cleaner, be sure to indicate what the stain is and the type of fabric.
6) Do not iron stained garments or put in dryer as this may set stain.
